Exciting things happen in the kitchen! I’m always experimenting with new recipes, most of which will never appear on this blog. I tend to look at recipes and think…“that sounds good, but what if I did this instead…” And I’ll be honest, a lot of times it would have been better if I hadn’t done that… But that’s okay. Whether a cooking experiment results in great success (yay!) or in culinary failure (it happens), I always learn something new. I can't wait to see what happens When We Start Cooking.

Jalepeno Lime Chicken Wings
6 lbs. chicken wings
6 jalapeno peppers (seeded and chopped into chunks)
1/2 c. coconut oil
1/4 c. coconut aminos or soy sauce
1/4 tsp. minced garlic
3 tsp. ground cumin
juice of 6 limes
Put the following ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth: jalapenos, coconut oil, soy sauce, garlic, cumin, lime juice.
Distribute the chicken wings between two gallon freezer bags and pour half the marinade over the chicken into each bag. Seal and shake to coat the chicken. Let marinate overnight in the refrigerator, turning once to redistribute marinade.
Preheat oven to 400.
Line a cookie sheet with foil and place a wire cooling rack or baking rack on the cookie sheet.
Place the wings on the rack and bake 30 minutes.
Remove from the oven, turn the wings over.
Increase the oven temp to 425. Return wings to oven and bake an additional 30 minutes or until well browned and cooked through.
