Hot Green Wings

Add to favorites

Plan Z Phase: This is a Z2 (ZReduction) recipe.

Servings: Serves approximately 6

Ingredients:

For the ‘wings’

• 2 pounds of chicken tenders or cut skinless chicken breasts into strips. Either way these make boneless wings for Z2.
• sea salt and pepper

For the sauce

• 10 tomatillos, husked and rinsed
• 4 serrano chili peppers (these are hot!)  You can add more if you want blazing wings
• 1 medium onion, sliced
• 1 Tbl of minced garlic  (jar garlic will work fine)
• 1 Tbl of sea salt, grated

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Place your breast pieces on a cookie sheet lightly sprayed with olive oil. Bake the pieces approximately 20 minutes or until no pink remains in the middle.  Take out of oven.

While the chicken cooks, make the sauce.

After sauce is complete you can put this all in the refrigerator to store until game day or assemble right away.

In a large baking pan add the cooked chicken. Toss with the green sauce. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until heated through.

Garnish with chopped scallions, chopped cilantro and even some jalapeno slices.

For the sauce

Cut the tomatillos into quarters. Add all ingredients into a sauce pot. Add enough water just to cover the ingredients. Bring to a boil and then turn to medium-low and cook for 20 – 30 minutes until the tomatillos are soft and have turned a slightly brown color. If you need to add more water during the cooking process to keep it from sticking to the bottom, do that.

When the tomatillos are soft and the other ingredients are cooked in you can put the ingredients in your blender and whiz til fairly  smooth. Either let the ingredients cool before blending or be VERY careful so you don’t burn yourself. When blending hot ingredients I always put a towel over the top of the blender and hold it down securely. Turn on slowly and then increase the speed. You don’t want to blow the top off with hot ingredients inside.

Enjoy!
