Cinco de Mayo Glazed Chicken Wings

Green chilies and taco seasoning add the piquant flavor but it is the lemon-lime carbonated beverage that adds the sweetness to these chicken wings.

This is my mom's recipe & I am so glad that everyone likes these. I love making these wings and think of her when I do since she has moved so far from me!

I tried this over the weekend. Although it was good, I found it to be a bit salty. Will make again but will use 1/2 pack of Taco seasoning or 40% low salt pack.

definitely different

If you want something new & different, this is the meal for you. It had a very unique taste. We all really enjoyed it. Will be making again & again.

Tender and tangy--and easy to prepare! If I don't make these wings at least twice a month, my family compains until I do! Highly recommended! And reasonable for the pocketbook too.
