Easy To Make Fried Chicken Mexican Elote Wings

Brine the wings for three days in a mixture of water, salt, sugar, and herbs.

Remove the wings from the brine and place them on a sheet pan lined with paper towels to dry.

Season the wings with all-purpose seasoning and asada griller seasoning, then add cloves and black pepper.

Place the seasoned wings on a sheet pan and bake in the oven until they reach an internal temperature of 140 to 150°F.

Prepare the elote sauce by mixing together half a cup of mayonnaise, half a cup of sour cream, half a cup of kotilla cheese, chili powder, the zest and juice of one lime, a pinch of salt, and chopped cilantro.

Taste the sauce and adjust with more all-purpose seasoning and lime juice if needed.

Prepare the strawberry margarita by cutting strawberries and mixing them with lime juice, orange liqueur, and simple syrup, then muddle the mixture.

Add tequila to the muddled mixture and shake with ice.

Garnish the margarita with taheen on the rim, ice, lime, and a strawberry.

Heat oil to 360°F for frying the wings until crispy.

Fry the wings until they are crispy and golden brown.

Toss the fried wings in the elote sauce by hand, ensuring they are well coated.

Garnish the wings with additional cilantro, kotilla cheese, and taheen before serving.
