Sweet Smoked Chipotle Crock Pot Chicken Wings Food

CHIPOTLE CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400º F (200º C). Line a baking sheet with foil. Place a wired rack on top and spray it with oil.
• Pat dry the chicken wings with a paper towel.
• Place cumin, salt, paprika, black pepper, and baking powder in a gallon-sized bag. Shake the bag to combine. Add chicken and shake again to coat it evenly with the seasoning.
• Place seasoned chicken over the wired rack and spray with oil.
• Bake for 35 -40 minutes, turning once, or until cooked through and golden brown and crispy.
• In the meantime, make the chipotle sauce: Place a medium saucepan, over medium heat, add the Coca-Cola, chipotle, onion, garlic, brown sugar, and soy sauce; mix to combine. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low and simmer until reduced by half, about 15 minutes. Stir in cornstarch slurry and cook until thickened, about 2 minutes. Set aside.
• When the chicken is cooked. Baste both sides of the chicken generously with the wing sauce and bake for 10 -15 minutes.
• Garnish with cilantro, if using, and lime wedges. Serve hot.

SMOKEY CHIPOTLE CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a blender, combine the chipotles in adobo sauce, white onion, jalapeno, cilantro and lime juice. Add a pinch of salt and pulse until combined. Remove to a large non-reactive bowl. Fold in 2 cups of mayonnaise. Taste and adjust seasonings. If it is too hot, add more mayonnaise. Reserve about 1/2 cup marinade for serving.
• Add the chicken pieces to the remaining marinade, cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours and up to overnight, turning occasionally.
• Preheat half of a grill to medium-high heat.
• Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and place the chicken, bone-side down, in the center of the cooking grate. You do not need to turn the chicken pieces as they cook. Grill, with the grill cover down, until the breast meat near the bone registers 165 degrees F and the thigh meat registers 180 degrees F, about 45 minutes. If you don't have a meat thermometer, cook until no longer pink and the juices run clear.
• Remove the chicken from the grill using tongs and a spatula to preserve the crust on top. Let sit 5 to 10 minutes before garnishing with whole cilantro leaves and serving with the reserved marinade and lime wedges alongside.
