Serves 6 to 8
You’ll Need
- 3 lbs chicken wings, split, wing-tip removed
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 1 large white onion, sliced
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
Tortilla Coating
- 8 cups tortilla chips
- 1 cup flour
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
- 4 Tbsp melted butter, divided
Spicy Wing Sauce
- ½ cup Louisiana-style hot sauce (we like Frank’s)
- ¼ cup butter
- 2 Tbsp honey
- ¼ tsp kosher salt
How to Make
- Place chicken wings in a large resealable plastic bag. In a large bowl, combine buttermilk, onions, lemon juice, cumin, oregano, cayenne, salt and pepper. Stir well to combine and pour over chicken wings. Let marinate in the refrigerator 6 hours to overnight.
- For the coating, in a food processor, finely grind tortilla chips. Place in a large bowl with flour, cumin, garlic powder, pepper, salt and cayenne. Toss to combine.
- Preheat oven to 425ºF. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a cooling rack on top of the baking sheet for the wings to cook on.
- Remove wings from buttermilk mixture, gently shaking off excess marinade.
- Dredge wings in tortilla chip mixture and make sure wings are coated all over. Place on prepared rack. Drizzle with 2 Tbsp melted butter and bake 20 minutes. Turn wings over, drizzle with remaining 2 Tbsp melted butter and cook 20 minutes more, until browned and cooked through.
- For the wing sauce, in a medium saucepan, bring hot sauce, butter, honey and salt to a boil over medium heat. Turn heat to low and simmer 10 minutes.
- Serve with tortilla wings.
