Sticky Honey Chipotle Baked Hot Wings are one of the "it" things in our house at the moment. 
Sticky, sweet and spicy and oooh sooo good! What's not to love?

We have some form of hot wings at least once a week, but these bad boys have been making a weekly appearance recently. 

They are super easy to make and pack a little hidden punch at the end. The sauce can easily be adjusted from a little hot to flaming dependent on how many chipotle peppers you add. 

I usually make the sauce with one pepper, and cook some of the wings in a small pan for our youngest. Then add another pepper for the rest of us. 

2 Chipotle peppers seems to give a decent amount of heat. If you really like to knock your socks off 3-4 chipotle peppers are sure to light your mouth on fire. 

Be warned this sauce is a bit of a creeper.. 

The honey hits the tongue and they don't seem to hot but a few seconds later the chipotle gives a little kick. 

Here's how to make Honey Chipotle Chicken Wings: 



A bowl with a whisk filled with olive oil, white wine vinegar, smoked paprika, granulated garlic, cumin, and salt.

Whisk together:

  • 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 tablespoon White Wine Vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon Granulated Garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon Cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
Frozen Chicken Wings with oil mixture drizzled over the top.

Drizzle mixture over 4 pounds of drummets and wings. Spread until evenly coated.

Bake in a 425 degree oven basting every 15-20 minutes until skin is brown about 30-40 minutes for fresh and about 50 minutes - 1hour for frozen.

Tip: For easier clean up use parchment paper in bottom of pan. It makes a huge difference.

While wings cook make the Sticky Honey Chipotle Sauce.

In a blender add:

  • 1-4 Canned Chipotle Peppers In Adobo Sauce (1 for just a little kick/ 4 for the mouth is on fire)
  • 2 tablespoons Adobo Sauce (from the can)
  • 3 tablespoons Melted Butter
  • 3 tablespoons Honey
  • Juice of 2 Limes
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
 Puree until smooth.

Wings are ready for the Chipotle Sauce when they are looking nice and toasty brown like this.

Slather both sides of chicken wings with sauce. Cook an additional 10-20 minutes until sauce starts to brown.

Serve wings with Ranch, Blue Cheese or this Cilantro Lime Ranch.

Is it bad I'll be making Sticky Chipotle Honey Baked Hot Wings twice this week? Once for dinner and then of course for Super Bowl!
