EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Chipotle chiles are dried, smoked jalapeño chiles. They are available dry in bulk, or canned in adobo sauce. Adobo sauce is a traditional Mexican paste made from ground chiles, herbs and vinegar. It's not overly hot, but it has a rich spicy flavor.

The sauce can be made one day ahead. Refrigerate it until you are ready to bake the drummettes.

I made these for my husband & son for dinner on Sunday. I served it with Carrot & celery sticks & Bleu Cheese Dressing for dipping. They said it had just the right amount of kick to it. It was my 1st time making hot wings & they insist it won't be my last. It went great with the football games! Thanks for making me look good!

As soon as I saw this recipe I had to jump on it. Since my partner comes from Mazatlan, Mexico and I am a native Californian we eat a lot of Mexican and Latin foods in general. To the recipe I added 2 cloves of minced garlic, the zest and juice of a whole lime and prepared it with bone in, skin on chicken thighs. It was so delicious that it is on the "make it often list". Served with spicy hot Mexican rice and sauteed corn with serrano peppers and onion it was a yummy south of the border gourmet dinner.
