Hatch Chile Lime Wings

I love wings so much, it just seemed natural to see if I could somehow incorporate Hatch Chilies into them. Looked around the internet for awhile, but I couldn't for the life of me find a recipe that included Hatch and wings. Found a few that used green chilies, but not Hatch. So I took one and used it as a base to come up with my own recipe.

First thing was to roast the chilies and peppers at 500F on the Mini to get them all charred up.

The chilies and peppers were then skinned, deveined and deseeded and tossed in a food processor along with the rest of the ingredients for a marinade. Wings got marinated for about 3 hours. Then I removed the wings from the marinade and brought it to a boil for ten minutes so I could use it as a baste while the wings cooked. The Egg was set up for a raised direct cook at 400F.

I grilled the wings for about 30 minutes, basting them every 5 minutes. And of course, when I have wings, I usually have tots. I thought of you guys as I cooked them, @Dyal_SC and @Eggcelsior and @henapple in particular.

All I can say is WOW!

Those were some good wings, easily landing in my top 5. Not too spicy, just a bit of a burn on the lips, but the fresh squuezed limes really made it unique. Gonna have to make these again. I just hope that if I use Anaheim peppers once Hatch Chile season is over that they will be just as good. Oh...and sorry about the tease post on Friday. Some people should just not drink and get on the forum...

Ingredients

  • 5 Hatch Chilies (I suppose you could use Anaheim if Hatch isn’t available), roasted, skinned, de-veined and de-seeded
  • 2 jalapenos, roasted, de-veined and de-seeded
  • 3/4 cup of freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 4 cloves of garlic
  • 2 Tbsp paprika
  • 1 Tbsp McCormick’s Grill Mates Lemon Pepper with Herbs
  • 1 Tbsp sugar
  • 1Tbsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 2.5 lbs chicken wings

Toss everything in a food processor, but the wings, then let marinate. I went 3 hours as that was all the time I had, longer would probably be bettter and hotter. Remove wings, reserve marinade. Bring marinade to a boil, reduce and let simmer for 10 minutes. Grill wings 400F raised direct for about 30 minutes, basting and turning every 5. Serve with TATER TOTS. ;)

    Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.

    Those look and sound great @Griffin.  I have to be honest, I have never had a Hatch chille.  I googled around a bit and I think I could only order them online...so those wangs would run me about $50 to make ;).  


    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    Try Anaheim. I can't make any promises on how close they will be, but Anaheims were originally grown from seeds from hatch chilies. Some say the soil and climate make all the difference, but I have no basis for comparison.

    These sound good. Bookmarked!

    My HEB only has the mild Hatch chiles. Tried a couple the other day in a roasted tomatillo salsa that turned out pretty good. The jalapenos from the garden are quite hot, so they made up for the heat.

    I forgot to send some good will your way  - congrats on your numbers and beating the diabetes thing. Saw your other thread last week but never got around to posting.

    That's funny I was thinking about a Lime Hatch Chili Marinade last night and mentioned it to the wife that we are having wings sometime this week.
    And you beat me to the punch. Now all I have to do is copy your recipe.

    Bookmarked as well.  I need to pick up some more chilis to retry the salsa recipe and try this one.

    Wings look real good...

      Tots are great with wings, have you ever tried the Ore Ida Crowns?  They are made from the same stuff as tots, but they are thinner and rounder. About the size of a 50 cent piece, they are my favorite.

    Wow.. because of you peeps here, I recognized at my grocery the Hatch Chilis.  I made a salsa out of 2 mild and 1 hot that was awesome!  Grilled them and took the skin off first and that made some killer salsa.  Flavor is out of this world for such a simple recipe.
    Going to take some to work tomorrow and let some folks try.

    BTW...great news on your A1C....so proud of your effort.  Be aware of the older you get...well, you know.  Enjoy your adventures now!

    Soil and climate DO make a difference; I lived in Albuquerque for five years, and within six months this german/norwegian white boy was eating green chile three meals a day.  Every year the chiles were a slightly different flavor, and sometimes a major different heat; all depended on the weather patterns (just like wine grapes).  I'm guessing you'll see no more variation between Hatch and anaheims than you would between hatches of different years.  
    I still had a half-bushel of Hatch in my freezer this month, so I didn't buy any more this year; don't consume it quite like I did 20 years ago.

    When you make a post on this forum using someone else's quote to begin, the formatting gets ALL screwed up!  Especially if you use the "italics" button, as I do often.

    Oh yeah.  Grif, please tell us you gave a couple wings (sans bones) to your pooch!  Those eyes are saying either "Just one more, please?!?" or "You ate them ALL?!?!?", but I can't tell which...
