Ingredients
For the Wings:
- 2 lbs chicken wings
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp dried oregano
- 1 tbsp ground cumin
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup tomato paste
For the Consomé:
- 2 cups beef or chicken broth
- 1/2 cup tomato sauce
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 dried guajillo chiles, stemmed and seeded
- 2 dried ancho chiles, stemmed and seeded
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade:
- In a bowl, mix together garlic, oregano, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, black pepper, salt, apple cider vinegar, vegetable oil, and tomato paste to create a marinade.
- Marinate the Wings:
- Coat the chicken wings thoroughly with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Cook the Wings:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the marinated wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the wings are crispy and cooked through. For extra crispiness, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Prepare the Consomé:
- Toast the guajillo and ancho chiles in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Transfer them to a bowl and cover with hot water to rehydrate for about 10 minutes.
- In a blender, combine the rehydrated chiles, beef or chicken broth, tomato sauce, onion, garlic, oregano, cumin, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until smooth.
- Heat vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Pour in the blended mixture and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the consomé has thickened slightly.
- Serve:
- Serve the crispy birria wings hot with the warm consomé on the side for dipping.
