     Sweet, smoky heat. Three of my favorite words when it comes to chicken wings. These Sweet Chili Lime Chipotle Chicken Wings are just that! Baked to a crisp and coated with a delicious sauce, what more could you ask for in a wing?
    Sweet Chile Lime Chipotle Chicken Wings

    A few months ago the Allrecipes.com AllStar group were sent some new sauces from Herdez to create some recipes for them.  This is one of the recipes I created and ended up being the one that Grumpy loved the best.  When I asked him what he thought his exact words were"see the sauce on my lips?  That ought to tell you if I liked it.  The more sauce the better!". Looks like these Sweet Chili Lime Chipotle Chicken Wings were a hit after all!

    I baked the wings at a high temperature until they were well browned and crispy. If you use fresh wings (not frozen) you will have much better luck getting the skin to be crispy.

    I will be honest here and say I was truly shocked that Grumpy loved these wings.  I was worried I wasn't going to be able to make much with the sauces I received because he is not a fan of Mexican flavors.  I guess we can have our sauce and eat it too with this recipe!

      These chicken wings look super! I think they would be great on nuggets and skip the bones for easier eating. Pinning!!
