Birria Chicken Wings

By Connor Forbes
The kids are on spring break and we took a trip up to Morro Bay for a few days. And wow, what an incredible town and surrounding area. I did cook while there, but I didn’t make anything I haven’t made and written about before. This Birria chicken wing recipe from April 2023 still stands the test of time…
We went on a quick vacation last week and I had access to a grill. I like to cook even on vacation so I brought a few provisions with me. I had frozen chicken wings in the freezer and a birria seasoning I had made. So zip zap zoop I threw together some seasoned wings and threw them on the grill. I wasn’t trying to do anything amazing here, but the flavors had other things in mind. Let’s Cook!’
Ingredients
The Seasoning
· 2 guajillo chilis
· 3 chili negro
· 10 morita chilis
· 1 inch cinnamon stick
The Chicken
· 6-7 chicken wings
· 1 teaspoon Lawry’s Salt
To Make
Blend the chilis and cinnamon stick in a food processor or blender until it is a powder. Dowse the chicken wings in the birria seasoning and then add the salt. Mix thoroughly so that the chicken is coated evenly. Let marinate for an hour at room temperature. Preheat the grill to as hot as you can get it. The particular grill I was using reached up to about 600⁰ based on the grill’s temperature gauge. Place chicken on the grill at hottest temperature and cook for about 5 minutes before flipping. Cook for another 5 minutes. I didn’t have a meat thermometer, so I was looking for the juices to run clear when I poked the chicken. If the juice is still pink, the chicken is not fully cooked yet. Let cool for 5 minutes and EAT!
