Instructions

Make the Chipotle Sauce

  1. Stir the chipotles, orange marmalade, dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, and barbecue sauce in a medium mixing bowl.
  2. Use an immersion blender to blend the ingredients together until smooth. For less spice, strain the seeds out with a fine mesh sieve. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.

Make the Chipotle BBQ Wings

  1. Oil the grill grates with high heat oil or generously spray with nonstick cooking spray before preheating your grill to 350-375 degrees F with a side for indirect heat.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, drizzle the oil over the wings and toss with tongs to coat the chicken. Season the wings with salt and pepper and give them a good toss with tongs again to ensure the chicken is well seasoned all over.
  3. Use the tongs to place the chicken wings over direct heat on the grill. Close the lid and let cook for five minutes before flipping on the other side and cooking for another five minutes.
  4. After those ten minutes are up, move the chicken wings to the side of the grill with indirect heat.
  5. Use a high heat safe silicone brush to generously coat the tops of the chicken wings with the chipotle glaze. Let that cook for 8-10 minutes, then flip and repeat on the other side for 5-10 minutes, or until the sauce has become sticky and thickened on the wings.
  6. Serve hot with thinly sliced scallion and a dip, if you like.

Notes

  • Don't want spicy wings? Use less peppers and strain the sauce through a sieve.
  • Add more umami to your sauce by adding a teaspoon or two of worcestershire sauce or soy sauce.
  • Don't have red wine vinegar? Lime juice will work in a pinch.
  • Make the wings super crispy by simply grilling! Flip the wings every 10 minutes for so, remove the wings from the grill and then toss in the orange chipotle sauce before serving.
  • Oil is your friend on the grill! Oil those grates (with the flame off!) and the wings well, otherwise they will stick to the grill and tear your wings apart.
  • If you can't find chipotle peppers, use chipotle seasoning or a chipotle paste instead.
