Birria wings with consome sounds like a delicious twist on traditional birria tacos! Here’s a recipe to make them:
Ingredients:
For the Birria Wings:
- 2 lbs chicken wings
- 4 dried guajillo chilies
- 2 dried ancho chilies
- 1 onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
For the Consome:
- Reserved broth from cooking the birria wings
- Chopped cilantro, onion, and lime wedges for serving
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Chilies:
- Remove the stems and seeds from the dried chilies.
- Heat a dry skillet over medium heat and toast the chilies for a few seconds on each side until fragrant. Be careful not to burn them.
- Transfer the toasted chilies to a bowl and cover with hot water. Let them soak for about 20 minutes until softened.
2. Make the Birria Sauce:
- Once the chilies are softened, drain them and transfer them to a blender.
- Add chopped onion, minced garlic, ground cumin, dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and chicken broth to the blender.
- Blend until smooth, creating a thick sauce.
3. Cook the Birria Wings:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with the birria sauce until they are evenly coated.
- Heat vegetable oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the chicken wings and sear them for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are browned.
- Pour any remaining birria sauce over the wings and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until the wings are cooked through and the sauce is bubbly.
4. Make the Consome:
- While the wings are cooking, strain the remaining birria sauce through a fine-mesh sieve into a pot to remove any solids.
- Heat the strained sauce over medium heat and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes to thicken slightly.
- This will be your consome, the flavorful broth served alongside the wings.
5. Serve:
- Once the wings are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- Serve the birria wings hot with the consome on the side.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro, onion, and lime wedges for extra flavor.
Enjoy your delicious birria wings with consome!
