Number Of Ingredients 6

3 pounds of chicken wings
1/3 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons chopped chipotles in adobo (include some of the sauce)
3 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon minced garlic
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Cut 3 pounds of chicken wings into 3 sections; save the wing tips for stock. Toss the wings with a little neutral oil to keep them from sticking.
  • Heat a charcoal or gas grill; the fire should be moderately hot and the rack 4 to 6 inches from the heat. Leave one side of the grill cooler for indirect cooking.
  • Put the wings on the cool side of the grill. Cover the grill, and cook, checking and turning once or twice, until most of the fat has been rendered and the wings are cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • While the wings cook, combine 1/3 cup olive oil, 3 tablespoons chopped chipotles in adobo (include some of the sauce), 3 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
  • When the wings are cooked, add them to the bowl with the sauce, and toss to coat. Now put the wings on the hot part of the grill and cook, uncovered, turning as necessary, until they're nicely browned on both sides.
