Tamarind-chipotle Chicken Wings instructions

If necessary, wash and/or thaw chicken wings. Season with Goya all-purpose seasoning or just salt and pepper. Set aside..
Now for the fun part, getting the pulp from the tamarind fruit. Begin with 2 cups of water - bring to a boil. Meanwhile, peel the tamarind. Remove as much peel as possible without being too meticulous. Throw the fruit into the boiling water. Stir, stir, stir, until all the pulp dissolves. Strain the saucy pulp using a colander with big holes. Get rid of the seeds and remaining skin, you won't need them. Or just chew on them! 😜.
Next, we'll make the sauce. Please note, acidity in tamarind fruit may vary. For this reason, it is necessary that you adjust acidity to your liking. Brown sugar can be used for fine-tuning. Just don't make it too sweet!.
Pour all the ingredients in the blender. (except for the Chicken Wings, of course 😃) Switch it on and blend until smooth..
Taste! Sauce should be sweet and sour. A little spicy and a little Smokey, perfect! If it's too sweet, well... Not so good. If necessary, add brown sugar and blend little by little..
Preheat oven to 400°F Put wings in oven safe dish. Brush tamarind-chipotle sauce over wings generously..
Bake for 30 minutes. Take wings out. Remove "juice." Flip, brush sauce on wings. Just pour the remainder of the sauce over the wings, it won't hurt 😃..
Bake for an additional 15 to 30 minutes. Check wings with fork after 15 minutes. Aim for juiciness and tenderness. TIP: the secret to perfectly glazed wings is to not move wings too much. Just let the sauce get thick and yummy on top of the wings..
PS: if you wish to accelerate the cooking process and increase crispiness of wings, pan fry them first. On a medium pan, pour a little olive oil and fry wings using medium-high fire. Don't let the wings cook all the way through. Only the outside should become a little browned. Then bake as per above. This will inevitably reduce the juiciness of the Chicken..
Enjoy while still hot! Happy cooking 😃..

Prick them with a bamboo stick to allow marinade to penetrate. Fry the wings until they become golden and cooked through. Drain on a tea towel or paper towel to remove excess oil. Take a piece of chicken that is mostly fat anyway. Indian spiced chicken wings take the flavour into a new direction.
