This appeared in today's Chicago Tribune and I thought Eggers would enjoy it. [p]Chorizo chicken wings[p]Preparation time: 25 minutes[p]Cooking time: 35 minutes[p]Yield: 6 servings[p]From "Sara Moulton Cooks at Home." Chorizo is available at many supermarkets or Latin markets.[p]2 pounds chicken wings[p]1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil[p]2 1/2 ounces chorizo sausage, casing removed and very finely chopped[p]2 cups Rice Krispies[p]1/4 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano[p]2 teaspoons sweet or hot paprika[p]1 teaspoon ground cumin[p]1/4 teaspoon kosher salt[p]Freshly ground black pepper to taste[p]1/ 3 cup mayonnaise[p]2 cloves garlic, minced[p]2 teaspoons sherry vinegar[p]1. Cut off the very tip of the chicken wings, known as the wing tips, and reserve for stock. Find the joint where the remaining two parts of the wing are joined and cut through the joint to halve.[p]2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Heat the oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Cool to room temperature.[p]3. Place the Rice Krispies in a plastic bag with a resealable closure and roughly crush with a rolling pin. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in the cooked chorizo, Parmigiano-Reggiano, paprika, cumin, salt and pepper.[p]4. Combine the mayonnaise, garlic and vinegar in a large bowl. Add the chicken wings and toss well to coat. Roll the wings in the Rice Krispies mixture until well coated. Arrange in one layer on a lightly oiled baking sheet and bake until golden, 30 to 35 minutes. Serve hot.[p]Nutrition information per serving (calculated by the Tribune):[p]405 calories, 67% calories from fat, 30 g fat, 7 g saturated fat, 65 mg cholesterol, 485 mg sodium, 13 g carbohydrate, 21 g protein, 0.4 g fiber
