  Step 1: Prepare the Birria Consomé

  1. Soak the chilies: Remove the stems and seeds from the guajillo and ancho chilies. Soak them in hot water for about 15 minutes until soft.
  2. Blend the sauce: In a blender, combine the soaked chilies, garlic, onion, broth, oregano, thyme, and salt. Blend until smooth.
  3. Cook the consomé: Pour the blended mixture into a saucepan. Add the bay leaf and bring it to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for about 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Adjust seasoning as needed.

  Step 2: Prepare the Wings

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Season the wings: In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Bake the wings: Spread the wings out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden.

  Step 3: Serve

  1. Plate the wings: Once the wings are done, arrange them on a serving platter.
