Oh, yum! Juicy, flavorful wings! I had no idea how great of a marinade salsa verde could be. It really added a fantastic flavor to these baked salsa verde wings. They were so tender, yet still had a nicely crunchy skin. Served with citrus salsa verde cream sauce for dipping, I really enjoyed these wings! They are a total change from my usual way of making chicken wings, which is either in an air fryer or on a super-hot grill. And occasionally, in a deep-fryer.
I’m A Baked Wing Believer Now
If you have any juices on the baking dish as the wings cook, brush it back onto the wings for extra flavor. I found it important to turn the wings often to get a nice even cook and also crunchy skin. Plus, I did not have to put the wings under the broiler to crunch them up, these baked salsa verde wings didn’t need it!
For a little heat add a few good pinches to the salt and pepper before putting them onto the wings. It’s not going to make the wings hot. It’ll add a little hint of spiciness. That’s about all you want. You don’t want to overpower the marinade with a different taste.
I Ain’t Tellin’
If you don’t have fresh limes sitting around, you can use that bottled lime juice. Yes, you can. Oh I know. They’re out there. They say you shouldn’t use that stuff. Well this ain’t no fancy fru-fru wing marinade. There’s nothing wrong at all with using that bottled stuff. Just check the date on it the bottle first. Yeah, you know it happens. I’ve had it happen. And give it a good shake or two before using it.
