What To Pair These Chipotle Wings With?

These wings have a fine balance of sweetness and spiciness, which makes them pretty versatile. This versatility is evident in the pairings as well, which is why we are sharing some options. 

• Cooling Dips: Classic choices like ranch or blue cheese dressing help tame the spice and add a creamy counterpoint. For a fun twist, we recommend that you try guacamole or a yogurt-based dip with fresh herbs.
• Veggie Sides: Spicy wings crave refreshing accompaniments.  Celery and carrot sticks with a cool dip are perfect.  You can go with coleslaw or potato salad for a more filling side.
• Carb Options: To round out the meal, pair your wings with french fries, onion rings, or sweet potato fries.  For a healthier option, brown rice, our Haitian Black Rice, or quinoa will work well.

• Honey & Butter: The honey helps to balance out the spicy flavor in these wings, leaving the wings even more enjoyable while the butter helps to provide richness to the dish.  
• Worcestershire Sauce: To balance all of the other flavors, we added a touch of Worcestershire sauce to add depth of flavor.  

How To Make Chipotle Chicken Wings

Wash and pat dry the chicken wings. Transfer the wings onto the baking dish. Lightly season the chicken with salt and pepper (about 2 ½ tsp. Salt and 1 tsp. ground black pepper).  Next, add 2 Tbsp. of the Chipotle seasoning to the chicken. Mix well. Cover and allow it to sit for 30 minutes. 

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. 

Bake the chicken for 40-45 minutes, uncovered. Turn the chicken halfway through to cook the chicken on the other side. After 40-45 minutes, remove the chicken from the oven and set it aside. Do not discard the liquid. 

Prepare the sauce: In a medium saucepan or skillet over medium, melt 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter. Then add ¼ cup honey. Lower the heat to low. Then add 2 Tbsp. Chipotle seasoning blend, 2 tsp. salt or to taste and mix well. 

Simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Then add the sauce to the chicken. Coat well. Then transfer to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes. Serve warm and enjoy.  

Tips for Making and Storing

• Cooking option: Line a baking pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup. Place a wire rack on top before placing the chicken on the rack. Once the chicken is cooked fully, mix the chicken with the sauce. 
• Making honey chipotle wings at home is surprisingly easy.
• When it comes to ingredients, you’ll need chicken wings, honey, and our chipotle seasoning blend. 

The process involves marinating the wings in a light mixture for a minimum of 30 minutes. For more flavor, you can also marinate the wings with mixed bell peppers, sliced onions, and garlic. 

How to Store Leftovers? 

• Before storing leftover wings, allow them to cool completely to room temperature. This helps prevent the growth of bacteria.
• Once cool, place the wings in a single layer in an airtight container. This prevents them from drying out or absorbing unwanted flavors.
• Leftover wings can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or frozen for up to 3 months. When reheating frozen wings, thaw them overnight in the refrigerator before reheating them in the oven or on the stovetop.
