A while back, we visited Marco’s Coal-Fired Pizzeria in Denver where the highlight of a wonderful meal was the plate of the Coal-Fired Limoncello Wings. Upon first bite, my partner said “So this is what chicken is supposed to taste like.” The wings were the best we’d ever had and we’ve had us some great wings! That’s why, when the folks from Marco’s offered the In Good Taste Denver blog the recipe to make the wings at home, we jumped at the opportunity to offer it to you. No, we haven’t tried to make them yet. We’re planning on that for the Super Bowl. But seeing as how our Denver Broncos are playing a really big game this weekend (which will hopefully lead to the REALLY BIG GAME, come February 2), we thought we’d better rush this recipe to our readers. Now, if you just don’t have it in you to make the wings yourself, Marco’s does deliver which means you could also get their delicious pizza, salads and other goodies. Just sayin’.For the rest of us, here’s the recipe:
