Garlic-Lime Chicken Drumettes with Chipotle Mayonnaise – 6g Carbs, 3g
Fiber
Drumettes, also called party wings, are the meatiest part of chicken
wings. They look like miniature drumsticks. They’re just the right
size to serve as appetizers for a party. The marinade gives these
drumettes lots of flavor in a relatively short amount of time.
CHICKEN AND MARINADE
6 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp grated lime peel
2 tsp kosher (coarse) salt
2 tsp dried oregano
2 tsp cumin seeds, toasted, crushed*
1/2 cup lime juice
1/3 cup olive oil
24 chicken drumettes or party wings
MAYONNAISE
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup light sour cream
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
2 to 3 chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, drained, finely chopped**
1 Tbsp adobo sauce
GARNISH
2 avocados, sliced
1. Place garlic, grated lime peel, salt, oregano, crushed cumin seeds,
lime juice and oil in nonreactive shallow pan large enough to hold
chicken in one layer. Add chicken; turn to coat completely with
marinade. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours or up to 4 hours.
2. In small bowl, stir together all mayonnaise ingredients. Refrigerate
30 minutes.
3. Heat grill or broiler. Remove chicken from marinade; discard
marinade. Place chicken on gas grill over medium heat, on charcoal
grill 4 to 6 inches from medium coals or on preheated broiler pan
4 to 6 inches from broiler. Grill or broil 12 to 14 minutes or
until browned and juices run clear, turning once. Serve with
avocado slices.
TIPS
*Toast cumin seeds in dry skillet over medium-low heat, stirring
frequently, 1 minute or until slightly darkened in color and aroma
is toasty. Crush with mortar and pestle or flat side of chef’s knife.
**Chipotle chiles are dried, smoked jalapeno chiles. They come dried,
pickled or canned in adobo sauce. Look for them in the Latin section
of the supermarket.
