Not Too Spicy for Your Mama Chipotle Wings

---

Tasty, yes, but not too spicy. Just what’s in Chef McCargo’s sauce? Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, honey, butter, black pepper and chives. Oooh, Mama!

Ingredients

·       1 pound fresh jumbo chicken wings cut in pieces or 20 individual pieces

·       Oil for greasing baking sheet tray

·       1½ tablespoons diced chipotle peppers in adobo sauce*

·       ¼ cup honey

·       ¼ cup unsalted butter, slightly melted

·       1 teaspoon black pepper

·       1 tablespoon chopped chives

·       *Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce are available in cans in the Latino/Mexican/ethnic food aisle of most grocery stores.

Directions

Preheat oven to 400° F.

1. Place the precut wings on a large greased nonstick baking sheet tray.

2. Bake for 18–20 minutes, turning halfway through the cooking time or until crispy on the outside and reaching an internal temperature of 165° F on an instant-read thermometer.

3. Add the remaining ingredients to a large bowl and combine with a rubber spatula, until well mixed.

4. Remove the wings from the oven and toss in the sauce until evenly coated. Transfer to a large platter and serve.

   TIP: Not Too Spicy for Your Mama Sauce can also be brushed on chicken breasts or roasted chicken to spice up your poultry.
