Margarita Chicken Wings

Submitted by Hal Taylor

"Forget your Buffalo Wings. These are a treat unrivalled and they will vanish as quickly as you can drag them off the BBQ. Thanks to Ted Reader, the Guru of the Q. You will find that the use of a grill basket will make the cooking of the wings much easier. I have also done these in the broiler."

WOO HOO, these flavoursome little babies pack some punch! Serve them with plain rice & after wolfing down their share of the wings, your guests can enjoy the full flavours of that Margarita Sauce. You can also cook the wings in the oven in a baking dish lined with non-stick baking paper.
