Fantastic wings! I loved the flavor from the marinade. Grilling the wings was really easy and made them crisp up nicely. I was surprised to see that I didn't have tequila in my pantry..hmmm... So I used an already made margarita mix and skipped the sugar. It seemed to work just fine!

We enjoyed these wings tonight as it is our first bbq meal for this year. I wound up marinating for 48 hours, seeing that it was raining, therefore extended for another day. I also added extra cumin and oregano than what the recipe called for and it worked out well. Thank you Teresa for contributing to a great meal tonight and Thank you for sharing. Made it for Billboard and FYC.
