Here’s a zingy little number that’s finger-lickin’ amazing! When you’re next down the street, grab a kilo of chicken wings and pop into the local supermarket and grab some chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. These wings can be done in the oven or on the BBQ, so if you’re heading up the mountain for a contest or a bit of DX, these can be made in advance, but keep them in the car fridge until you’re ready to cook them.
If you like spicy food, you’re going to love these. Make them using the recipe below, then adjust the quantities to your liking. Let me know what you think!
