Honey Garlic Chipotle Wings

I guarantee you will be loving these smoky and sweet Honey Garlic Chipotle Wings…..

I’m back like I left something!  I have been super busy with some exciting news I can’t wait to share with you as soon as we complete the finishing touches…..

I tell you, I really felt bad that I wasn’t giving any attention to this food blog for the pass few weeks, but I’m only one person and was running out of space and time!  I am working on it though to make sure I can keep coming here weekly as I usually do and share some of my favorite recipes I have tried, and tricked out……

Ok, back to this exciting new baby I have created and still in the process of creating.  She is almost complete but it took a lot of work to get her here.  Yea I’m calling this new venture “HER” because she’s my baby through and through….

Enough about my baby until next time.  Let’s talk about these wings.  So it seems to be cooling off, but here in Texas we still have a nice warm temperature.  It’s hot enough to still break out those daisy dukes, but there is a slight reminder that fall is a coming.  And while I have this transitional weather in the palm of my hands with my hectic schedule, I decided to throw some wings in the oven.  But I had to try something a tad bit different so I thought I would give the chipotle wing recipe a shot.  My version is a nice mild spicy wing sauce that’s cooled downed by a sweet raw honey I blended with the chipotle pepper adobo sauce.  And you can’t go wrong by adding a handful of garlic and some butter.

Before I lathered the wings in sauce, I made sure to make them crispy with Cook’s Country Crispy Oven Fried Chicken Method. If you haven’t heard about this method yet, it’s an easy way to get crispy chicken wings via the oven as opposed to deep frying.  It’s a keeper in my book because there is less clean up.

The combination was beautiful!!!  A moist tender wing with a great smoky sauce…. That is all!
