Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken wings
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted
  • 3 chipotles chiles in adobo sauce
  • 2 tbsp adobo sauce (from around the chiles)
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tbsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • non-stick cooking spray

Directions

  1. Put the melted butter, chipotle chilis, adobo sauce, honey, and oregano in a small blender or food processor. Puree until smooth. Taste this, and add salt and pepper according to your personal taste. After all, this will be what’s flavoring the wings.

  2. Put all of the wing flats and drums into a freezer bag, pour the chipotle-honey sauce over top, and rub it around until each piece is covered.

  3. Leave the bag on your counter to marinade for an hour, or tuck it in the fridge to marinate for approximately 4 hours.

  4. Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Line 2 baking sheets with tinfoil, and spray both of them thoroughly with non-stick cooking spray. Lay the wings out in an even layer, making sure that they don’t touch or overlap. Place these in the top 1/3 of the oven.

  5. Let them bake in the oven for 20 minutes.

  6. Flip each wing over, and if you had the baking sheets on two different shelves then rotate the sheets as well.

  7. Put the wings back in the oven for another 15 – 20 minutes.

  8. The wings are done when you can prick a drumstick (close to the bone) and the juices run clear
