Notes
Honey Chipotle Barbecue Sauce Substitution: If you are unable to find the Sweet Baby Ray's Honey Chipotle Barbecue Sauce at your local grocery store, you can try this substitute: 1 regular 16 oz. bottle of Sweet Baby Ray's Barbecue Sauce, plus add Honey and Chipotle Chile Pepper to taste.Chipotle Chicken Wings:
Use ingredients listed below, but substitute 2 1/2 lbs. fresh or thawed Chicken Wings.
Shorten cook time to 2.5 hour on HIGH before draining and adding sauce.
Pour sauce over wings, and cook for 30 more minutes.
For Crispier Chipotle Honey Wings:
Retain 3/4 cup of sauce mixture.
After wings have finished cooking, place on foil lined cookie sheet and brush with 1/4 cup of the remaining sauce and place under Broiler for 5 minutes.
Then flip wings and brush with another 1/4 cup of sauce and place under broiler for an additional 5 minutes.
Then flip once more, brush with remaining 1/4 cup of sauce, and place under broiler for 5 more minutes.
