22 minutes
Spicy Mexican wings are a passionate blend of crispy texture and fiery aroma. This recipe originates from the traditions of Mexican cuisine, where spices play a key role. Crispy wings are first deep-fried and then baked to perfection, absorbing the juiciness and richness of the spices. A sauce made from jalapeños, tomato paste, and aromatic herbs adds spicy depth to the dish, while lime juice adds a zesty freshness. Perfect for lively parties or cozy gatherings, they pair well with chilled drinks and fresh vegetables. These wings are a true Mexican celebration of flavor, full of passion and energy.
