Everyone loved these! Much better than the traditional hot wings!
Chipotle Wings
Found in most supermarkets and Mexican grocers, canned chipotles in adobo make a smoky, fiery sauce for chicken wings. Serve the wings with avocado crema.

2 lbs. chicken wings, separated into 2 pieces
4 tbsp. unsalted butter
3 canned chipotles in adobo and 1 tbsp. adobo sauce, puréed
2 tbsp. fresh lime juice
Avocado crema, for serving
1. Heat oven to 200˚. Pour oil into a 6-qt. Dutch oven to a depth of 2" and heat over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 400˚. Working in two batches, add chicken wings to oil and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crisp, 10–12 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer wings to a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet and transfer to oven.
2. Meanwhile, put butter and chipotles into a medium heat-proof bowl. Set bowl over a pot of boiling water until butter is melted and chipotles are hot, whisking to combine. Transfer chicken wings to the bowl, add lime juice, and toss to combine. Serve with avocado crema, if you like.

These sound delicious! Can't wait to make them.
Will be trying this out tomorrow for Super Bowl but I see some green leaves in the picture but do not see it in the recipe. Are they green onions?
These are really delicious!! Great for Super Bowl. Also, I LOVE the sauce!! If you want to add a kick to the sauce, add habanero's and jalapeno's and blend really well.. The sauce is good on Chile Relleno's and for dipping too!!!
