Crave Gourmet's CHIPOTLE & SERRANO HONEY CHICKEN WINGS

INGREDIENTS:
Wings
3 lbs. Chicken wings, Salt & 2 Tbsp Crave’s Chipotle Infused Olive Oil

Sauce
2 tsp Crave’s Chipotle Infused Olive Oil
1 Tbsp Crave’s Serrano Honey Balsamic Vinegar
2/3 cup diced yellow onion
2 cloves of garlic sliced
1 Tbsp brown sugar
2 Tbsp ketchup
1 chipotle pepper without stem (found in a can of chipotles in Adobo sauce)
1 Tbsp. Adobo sauce (also from can)
3 Tbsp. Local honey
1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp Dijon Mustard
½ tsp salt
½ tsp pepper

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and stack a wire baking rack on top so chicken won’t touch the baking sheet.
Fill a large pot halfway with water and add 1 T salt. Bring to a boil, then add chicken, bringing heat down to Medium-high and boil for 10 minutes. Drain chicken wings in a colander and pat dry.

Place wings on the baking rack, drizzle or brush with 2 Tbsp of chipotle olive oil and season with salt. Bake for 30 minutes, flipping chicken halfway through. You may also cook your wings on a grill at 425 for about 20 minutes, flipping every 3-5 minutes to prevent burning.

While chicken is baking, Heat 2 tsp of chipotle olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until soft and beginning to brown. Add sliced garlic and sauté an additional minute, stirring constantly. Transfer onion mixture to a food processor, add remaining sauce ingredients, and blend until smooth.

Pour sauce back into the skillet used for onions & bring sauce to a simmer. Cook for about 10 minutes, or until sauce thickens. Place wings in a heat safe bowl and toss in the sauce until evenly coated. Serve alone or with ranch / blue cheese dressing & ENJOY!
