Easy, Incredibly Tasty Peruvian Chicken Wings for Superbowl

January 25, 2015 By Marge Perry

Marge Perry's Peruvian Chicken Wings

Yes, it can be this easy to make wings for Superbowl– wings that people will devour within minutes. All you do is cut ’em up, throw them on a baking sheet, and when they are just about done, mix a few ingredients together and brush the mixture on the wings. Bake 5 more minutes and you’re done. Yup– that’s it.

These wings are salty, spicy, savory and sweet all at once– the perfect Superbowl snack whether your team is winning or losing. I hope, of course, your team wins…

Chicken Wings Math

Wondering how many wings to buy to serve your crowd? Here’s the math.

* There are about 12 whole wings per pound.

* Cut each wing at the joint where the drumette (the piece that looks like a baby drumstick) attaches to the “flat”. Now instead of 12 pieces per pound, you have 24.

* I usually assume each person will eat the equivalent of three wings– 6 individual pieces. Some of my friends eat far more and some fewer. (It may depend on where they stand with their New Year’s resolutions).

* The “tip”, that little skinny pointed piece with barely any meat, is attached to the “flat”: you can leave it on or off– it’s your choice. If you remove the tips, as I usually do, throw them in a bag in the freezer and use them to make chicken soup.

Peruvian Chicken Wings

2 garlic cloves, minced

¼ cup lower sodium soy sauce

¼ cup lime juice

2 tablespoon minced canned chipotle in adobo sauce

2 tablespoons honey

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon salt

3 pounds chicken wings, tips removed and split at the joint

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Coat a shallow baking sheet pan with cooking spray.
  2. Place the chicken on the prepared pan in a single, un-crowded layer and bake 40 minutes, until golden.
  3. Meanwhile, combine the garlic, soy sauce, lime juice, chipotle, honey, thyme, paprika and salt in a large bowl. After the wings are baked, brush them with the sauce and bake another 5 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Makes 12 servings (about 6 pieces per person)

I make my living writing, teaching and speaking about food and travel. In the name of work, I (have to!) eat a lot, meet interesting people (many of whom, like me, are passionate about their work) and travel near and far to see where and how food is made, grown or raised. I am saved from a life of extreme obesity by the fact that I truly love to exercise, but I am always one forkful away from not being able to button my jeans. Mine is a sweet and savory life.

I share it with my husband and co-author, David Bonom. Check out our new book, Hero Dinners: Complete One-Pan Meals That Save the Day
