Instructions
Step 1: Marinate the Wings
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings, olive oil, birria seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss until the wings are evenly coated.
- 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
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. This will help the wings become crispy.
- Arrange the marinated wings on the rack in a single layer.
- 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
- 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.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- 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
- Once the wings are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- Serve the crispy birria wings with a bowl of warm consommé for dipping.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve lime wedges on the side for an extra zesty kick.
