Ingredients

  • 4-5 lbs chicken wings trimmed, tips discarded
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 cup thawed frozen orange juice concentrate
  • 2 tablespoons minced chipotle in adobo (seeds removed for less heat)
  • orange zest

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place a rack in the upper third of the oven. Preheat to 450ºF. Line a baking sheet with foil. (You may need 2 baking sheets - if you do, place one rack in the upper third and one in the bottom third.) Place a cooling rack on the baking sheet and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
  2. Place the wings in a large bowl and add the vegetable oil. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Toss to combine. Place the wings in a single layer on the cooling rack.
  3. Bake until the wings are crispy, about 45 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, in another large bowl, combine the orange juice concentrate and chipotle in adobo. Transfer about 1/4 cup of the sauce into a separate, small bowl.
  5. Place the cooked wings in the large bowl with the sauce and toss to coat. Return to the baking sheet in a single layer. Return to the oven and bake until the wings are shiny and cooked completely, about 10 minutes.
  6. Transfer the wings to a platter and brush on the remaining sauce. Sprinkle with orange zest and serve warm.
