Oven-Fried Chicken Wings Al Pastor

Al pastor on its own is pretty awesome, but on chicken wings—now that's something special. Guajillo and chipotle chilies give the baked wings an earthy heat, while pineapple, cilantro, and lime add freshness to create a combination that's hard to beat.

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Place guajillo chiles on a baking sheet and heat in oven until puffed up and aromatic, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Seed chiles, tear into pieces, and process in a spice grinder into a fine powder.
2

Coarsely chop 2 pineapple rounds, discarding core; cover and chill remaining pineapple. Place chopped onion and chopped pineapple in the jar of a blender. Add orange juice, vinegar, chili powder, garlic, salt, oregano, cumin, chipotles, and adobo; puree marinade until smooth. Place chicken wings in large resealable plastic bag. Add marinade and seal bag, releasing excess air. Turn to coat. Chill at least 4 hours to overnight.
3

Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees. Line rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and lay a wire rack inside. Arrange chicken wings on rack, leaving a little space between each wing. Place in the oven and cook until deeply browned, about 45 minutes.
4

Finely dice the remaining pineapple round. Move wings to a platter, sprinkle with pineapple, cilantro, and the juice of 1 lime. Serve immediately.
