Spicy Chipotle-Honey Wings
4.3 from 6 ratings
If you like heat on your wings, then these chile-covered wings are the ones for you. The best part is that they are incredibly easy to make. Pop them in the oven with salt and pepper and then five minutes before they are done, make your sauce. Slather on the wings and then put under the broiler to get the crispy, crunchy finish. Don't forget to pair them with a cooling dip like ranch or blue cheese, otherwise you'll be sweating and panting — trust me, I've been there.
