It is time to get your home ready for summer and the grill fired up by making these Grilled Honey Chipotle Wings. Sweet with a little heat plus a great grilled flavor your family will love!
Memorial Day is right around the corner and summer is quickly on its way. Are you ready to kick off the summer season?
Summer at my house means grilling and chilling outdoors with family and friends. But to get ready you need to make sure you have all the supplies on hand to keep your grill clean, along with the deck and patio.
You will also want to have a cooler with cold drinks and snacks. Don’t forget the plastic cups and make sure you have plenty of paper towels to clean up those accidental spills.
Grilled Honey Chipotle Wings
To make my Grilled Honey Chipotle Wings, first combine chicken wings with the next 3 ingredients in a Ziploc bag. Shake to coat wings with dry rub.
Allow to chill for a few hours or overnight. In a food processor, add chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, honey, lemon juice and soy sauce. Pulse until smooth; set aside 1/3 cup sauce for serving.
Heat grill to medium heat. Place wings on grill and cook for 20 minutes, turning once. Brush wings with honey chipotle glaze and place on grill topper over low heat.
Continue turning and basting wings until crisp and cooked through; about 20 minutes. Transfer hot wings to the large bowl and toss with remains sauce until wings are well coated.
Serve immediately with chopped cilantro and red pepper flakes. Enjoy!!

Cait Weingartner says
This recipe sounds incredibly delicious! The only thing I would do differently, is swap drumsticks for the wings. Same flavor, but easier to eat and more meat on the bone.
Quinn Caudill says
Great idea Cait! Thanks for stopping by!
