  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 cup beef or chicken broth (for marinating)

For the Consomé:

  • 2 cups beef or chicken broth
  • 1 medium onion, quartered
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-2 dried guajillo chilies (adjust to taste)
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions:

Step 1: Marinate the Wings

  1. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cumin, oregano, chili powder, and broth.
  2. Add the chicken wings to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for the best flavor.

Step 2: Bake the Wings

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Arrange the marinated wings on the rack in a single layer.
  3. Bake for 40-45 minutes, turning halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and crispy.

Step 3: Prepare the Consomé

  1. In a saucepan, combine the beef or chicken broth, quartered onion, minced garlic, guajillo chilies, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
  2. Reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Strain the mixture, discarding the solids, and keep the flavorful broth warm.

Step 4: Serve

  1. Once the wings are baked to perfection, remove them from the oven.
  2. Serve the crispy wings hot with the warm consomé for dipping.
  3. Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges for an extra zing.
