Grilled Honey-Chipotle Wings and Vegetables

Trying to cook for meat eaters and vegetarians at the same time? Using a grill lets you take care of the meat on one side and the vegetables on the other. Wings cook up quickly, so watch these carefully as you grill.

 

Grilled Honey Chipotle Wings
Serves 4

8 chicken wings
1 chipotle in adobo, diced
2 tablespoons adobo sauce
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon oil
Salt and pepper
Cilantro

1. Using a sharp knife, cut wing at the elbow join. Next cut off wing tip.

• Note: Working with raw chicken wings isn't for those of us who hate handling meat. I ended up asking my husband to do this part!

2. Combine honey, chipotle, adobo, honey, and olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste.

• Note: If you are looking for spicier wings, dice up more chipotles. My recipe has medium heat.

3. Mix chicken wings in honey-chipotle sauce.
4. Grill over medium heat, about 5 minutes on each side. Reserve remaining honey-chipotle sauce.
5. Boil remaining sauce about 2 minutes.

• Note: Since the sauce previously contained raw chicken, boiling is necessary to kill any bacteria. 

6. Top chicken wings with remaining sauce and cilantro.
