Guy Fieri's Tequila-Lime Wings
"Guy Fieri, a huge Oakland Raiders fan, designed these wings to be tailgate-friendly: You can bake them at home, pack them in the boozy marinade and grill them once you get to the parking lot. This recipe is from the January/February 2010 Food Network Magazine."

These were very good but I had to make two changes. First I used 1/4 cup fresh lime juice and 1/4 cup bottled; and second I had to substitute honey for the agave as none could be found in my area. Still, with these substitutions made, the wings rate a good 5 stars. I served them with fiesta beans and big chunks of homemade cornbread (not to mention a good Mexican beer). Made for RS#41

<p>Update: I have changed my profile picture in honor of my dear best friend and loyal companion that I lost to cancer on 6/25/11. Maxx was the best dog that anyone could ever hope to have in their life. Until we meet again, sweet boy, you will be forever in my heart and memories. I currently live in the country with two dogs (a 12 pound poodle mix named Suki and a new member to the family, a 7-month old(?) 7.5 pound terrier mix named Angel ). I got Angel from the dog pound a week after I lost my beloved Maxx. Suki and I both needed a new companion to help us cope with our loss. Nothing will ever replace Maxx, but she has helped to uplift Suki's spirit. I am a secretary for a county school board. I love to cook, bake, crochet, paint, sew, read and anything to do with crafts. I was born in Tokyo,Japan. My father was in the Air Force and my moher was Japanese. I love to cook (and eat) a variety of foods from many different nations. I especially like trying out new recipes and experimenting with both old and new recipes. I also love participating in the great Zaar events like the tag games, recipe swaps, and Zaar World Tours. I recently participated in my first RSC contest. I have definitely had a lot of fun since joining Recipezaar. Update - September 20, 2007 I am proud to announce that I have just been blessed with my first grandchild. My son and daughter-in-law have given me a beautiful little granddaughter.
