Ingredients

Servings:4
  • 2 lbs Chicken wings (flats and drums)
  • 1 cup Corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup Mexican Crema or sour cream
  • 1/2 cup Cotija cheese, crumbled
  • 1 tablespoon Tajin or chili-lime seasoning
  • 1/4 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.
