Tequila Lime Baked Chicken Wings

tequila lime baked chicken wings #ChicksWingIt #WingItWednesday - Mama Harris' KitchenI’m back with another delicious wing recipe, just in time for you to whip it up this weekend and enjoy in front of the big screen while watching your favorite team play. If you’re new around here, every Wednesday my good friend Mandi at Chewsy Lovers share a variety of delicious wing recipes for all of your game day needs. So far we have a total of TEN wing recipes up until last week and we are still going! You can check out all of our recipes on Pinterest and be sure to follow our board!

Follow Mama Harris’ Kitchen’s board #ChicksWingIt on Pinterest.

This week I decided to do a fun theme for my wings, you can blame it on my mood for Mexican food recently, but I thought that incorporating the flavor of a flavorful Margarita into a chicken wing would be delightful, and I was right!

Tequila Lime Baked Chicken Wings with Creamy Dill Salsa

I incorporated some of my favorite flavor in spirits into a delicious sauce for the chicken and added a little twist using the same chipotle sauce that I used in the quesadilla I shared earlier this week. After trying my wings a variety of ways these past few weeks, I’ve concluded that my favorite method was parboiling the wings like I did in the baked buffalo wings recipe and then baking them at a high temperature. You get an awesome crispness to the wing that you aren’t able to achieve unless you deep fry it, and once you add the sauce it remains crispy even after microwaving to reheat. For the tequila lime sauce I cooked it on the stove for a few minutes while the chicken baked in order to cook out some of the alcohol and I whipped up an easy dip that I thought would really bring out the sweet and sour flavors of the wings. Once again it’s a dreamy combination and this flavor profile has to be one of my favorites that I’ve created so far. It’s a great alternative to the traditional buffalo wing.

This dip reminds me of when my husband and I were first dating, one night we went out to eat and I ordered some shrimp. The restaurant was all out of cocktail sauce (where does that happen at?) so I improvised and asked for other condiments and created my own dipping sauce for my shrimp. It actually ended up tasting better than cocktail sauce and since then I’ve been having fun creating some of my own dips from scratch.

Last week I brought you these honey mustard baked wings with a sriracha mayo sauce and Mandi shared her sweet tea boneless wings with maple mustard. You can keep up with us on Instagram and Twitter every week where we show you how #ChicksWingIt on #WingItWednesday! If you have any of your own wing creations, feel free to hashtag them for us so we can see and share!

(AD) There has been a lot of cooking going on this year, so I’ve tried to make life a bit easier by getting creative with my leftovers. These pulled pork totchos are a great example of leftovers with a few key ingredients to create something new to keep our meals exciting. Adding a few key ingredients like @lamorenausa adobo peppers and jalapeños and carrots definitely livens up something simple. La Morena peppers are hand selected, using only the highest quality peppers to bring you authentic home style flavors of Mexico. I purchased my La Morena items from my local Safeway, but you can find them at your favorite grocery store in the international food section. #PayItForwardwithLM #VivaLaMorena #WeCanWithLaMorena 
 
INGREDIENTS:
- 32 oz tater tots
- 2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend + Pepper Jack)
- 2 cups prepared bbq pulled pork (check my pulled pork sliders recipe!)
- 1/2 can La Morena Adobo Peppers & Sauce
- 2 tablespoons sour cream 
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
- 1 cup pico de Gallo
- 1/2 cup guacamole
- 3 chopped green onions 
- 3-4 La Morena jalapeños and carrots, sliced

INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare tater tots as instructed, in air fryer or oven. Heat oven to 450°. 
Cover the bottom of a large cast iron skillet with the cooked tater tots. 
Top with 1 1/2 cup of cheese. 
Combine the chopped adobo peppers and sauce with the prepared bbq pulled pork. Spread the pulled pork mixture on top of the tater tots, then top with the remaining cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
Top with sour cream, ranch, pico de Gallo, guacamole, green onions, and sliced jalapeños and carrots.

Enjoy!! 😋

Hello Instagram fam! 💖 There’s some new faces around here and it’s been a while since I showed mine!

I’m Dawn, creator of Mama Harris’ Kitchen, and I’m so glad you’re here with me! In this space I share my family-friendly recipes for all occasions, whether it be a 30-minute meal for those busy weeknight dinners or a full spread for entertaining a crowd - and everything in between.

Mama Harris’ Kitchen began back in 2012, in fact it’s 8 years this month! 🥳  What started as a way to document my newfound cooking hobby while managing my “new” life as a stay-at-home wife and mom to a 1 and 3 year along with teens and preteens, and it quickly grew into what it is now - a recipe resource for busy families like mine that enjoy flavorful and comforting home-cooking using pantry staples along with fresh and local ingredients as often as possible. 

🍿Five fun facts about me:
1. I LOVE elephants! 🐘 I collect a lot of elephant items, whether it’s trinkets or  artwork, notepads etc. I love what elephants symbolize and I truly love anything elephant related.
2. I’m a total plant lady! 🌱 I have about 35 houseplants, give or take, and there’s still more on the list of wants. Plants have become such a peaceful outlet for me, and I feel that they really center me within my space. I love the element plants bring to your space and the feel of your home with them in it, and new leaves are so exciting!
3. I have seven tattoos and I have plans for about eight more. 💉 Those that know me aren’t surprised, but those that follow me here tend to find it a bit surprising. 🙃
4. I’ve been a mother for a long time, over half my life! I’ve also been a lot of different “types” of mom - teen mom, single mom, working mom, stepmom, stay at home mom, PROUD mom, military mom, mother in law - the list goes on. No matter what, motherhood looks different for everyone and there’s unique challenges and experiences each mother faces. Please be gentle with yourself! ❤️At the end of the day we’re all just trying our best!
5. I’m a bit of an introvert, and often struggle with the “social” aspect of social media. I tend to go silent sometimes, but I’m working on it.

☀️Thank you for joining me here!
