Birria Wings with Consome

Instructions

Step 1: Marinate the Wings

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings, olive oil, birria seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss until the wings are evenly coated.
3. Let the wings marinate for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavor. If time allows, marinate them for a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator.

Step 2: Bake the Wings

1. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. This will help the wings become crispy.
2. Arrange the marinated wings on the rack in a single layer.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and crispy.

Step 3: Prepare the Consommé

1. While the wings are baking, prepare the consommé. In a medium saucepan, combine the beef broth, water, onion, garlic, guajillo chiles, cumin, oregano, and bay leaf.
2. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
3. After simmering, remove the bay leaf and onion. If you prefer a smoother consistency, you can blend the mixture until smooth. Strain the consommé if desired to remove any solid pieces.

Step 4: Serve

1. Once the wings are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
2. Serve the crispy birria wings with a bowl of warm consommé for dipping.
3. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve lime wedges on the side for an extra zesty kick.
