Elote Style Grilled Chicken Wings

Ingredients

• 2 lbs Chicken wings (flats and drums)
• 1 cup Corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 0.25 cup Mexican Crema or sour cream
• 0.5 cup Cotija cheese, crumbled
• 1 tablespoon Tajin or chili-lime seasoning
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F) and lightly oil the grates.

2. 2

   Pat the chicken wings completely dry with paper towels and toss them in a bowl with oil, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt.

3. 3

   Place the wings on the grill and cook for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the skin is crispy and internal temperature reaches 165°F.

4. 4

   While wings cook, char the corn kernels in a hot skillet or on a grill mat until slightly blackened, then set aside.

5. 5

   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Mexican crema, lime juice, and half of the Tajin seasoning.

6. 6

   Once wings are done, immediately toss them in the creamy lime sauce until thoroughly coated.

7. 7

   Transfer the coated wings to a serving platter and top generously with the charred corn and crumbled cotija cheese.

8. 8

   Garnish with the remaining Tajin seasoning and fresh chopped cilantro before serving warm.
