These addictive sweet, spicy and smoky wings are a cinch to make, but be warned: they will disappear as quickly as you put them out, so make more than you think you need!
Yield:
10-12 Servings
Ingredients
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
4 pounds chicken wings, wing tips removed and split at the joint
1 cup cherry preserves
2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, seeded and minced
1 tablespoon lime juice
Directions
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Lightly oil 2 baking sheet pans.
Combine the paprika, garlic powder, cumin and salt in a bowl; toss with the wings.
Combine the preserves, chipotle peppers and juice in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat; cook 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool 5 minutes. Pour 1/2 of the preserve mixture over the wings and toss well to coat.
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the baking sheet pans. Bake 15 minutes; rotate the pans in the oven and bake another 10 minutes. Brush the wings with the remaining preserve mixture and bake an additional 5 minutes, until the glaze is set.
