Ingredients

• 2 pounds Chicken wings
• 3 pieces Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
• 2 tablespoons Adobo sauce
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to ensure they get crispy when baked.

Step 3

In a blender or food processor, combine the chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, honey, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and olive oil. Blend until smooth to create the marinade.

Step 4

Place the chicken wings in a large mixing bowl and pour the marinade over them. Toss to coat the wings evenly.

Step 5

Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not touching for even cooking.

Step 6

Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to ensure they cook evenly and develop a golden-brown coating.

Step 7

For extra smokiness and caramelization, switch the oven to broil for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, but watch carefully to avoid burning.

Step 8

Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro if desired and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or extra lime wedges on the side.
