Allison's Taco Wings

Total Time: 13 hrs 15 mins Preparation Time: 12 hrs Cook Time: 1 hr 15 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 24
• 18 -24 chicken wings
• 2 (1 1/4 ounce) packages taco seasoning (we like old el paso)
• 1/8 cup vinegar
• 1/8 cup oil
• 1 dash cayenne pepper (or more to taste)

Recipe

• 1 clean chicken wings, cut at the joints into three pieces and discard wing tips.
• 2 in a large resealable plastic bag, combine the taco seasoning, vinegar, oil and cayenne by "squishing" the bag to make a paste.
• 3 add the chicken wing pieces, seal the bag and "squish" until the paste is distributed evenly over the chicken pieces (if the paste is too thick then add a small amount of vinegar or water -- but remember it is a paste - almost a rub).
• 4 marinate chicken 1 hour at room temperature or overnight in the refrigerator.
• 5 preheat oven to 400°f.
• 6 spread wings pieces on a baking sheet lined with foil (for easiest clean-up). try to maintain some space between each piece - use a second baking sheet if necessary.
• 7 brush pieces with any extra paste.
• 8 bake at 400 for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, turning half way through the baking time.
• 9 can be held in a crock pot to serve at a party or buffet.
