I've been making this recipe ever since it was first published in Cooking Pleasures years ago. Some suggestions: * Pierce all the wings with a fork * Separate your wing pieces before cooking * Marinate for 8-24 hours to allow the marinade to penetrate the meat * Cook over medium-high heat, watch for flare-ups, and get the skin crispy before turning each piece

Deliciously messy! Come hungry and leave your dignity at the door. (My husband especially loved the chipotle mayo.) Made for A-NZ#61 recipe tag.

The chipotle sauce was great with loads of heat. Next time, I will use 1-2 chipotles (3 was too spicy). I used chicken legs (with skin). The chicken tasted a little bland but when smeared with the chipotle sauce it was good. Thank you for the posting.

First time toasting cumin & after that the recipe was a breeze to put together. I should have added all the salt as recipe stated but I have to limit my salt intake. Made the chipotle sauce with Greek yogurt because that’s what I had on hand instead of sour cream. Also I had inadvertently purchased already diced chipotle peppers so I had to keep tasting to gage the spicyness. These are excellent grilled! And the sauce really compliments the already tasty wings.

I am just rating the chipotle mayo here... because the wings are still marinating, to be cooked in a couple hours! The mayo is half gone, eaten with tortilla chips.... YUM! Have to fight off the ravenous, lusting, craving maniacs...to have some left for dinner! I only used 2 chipotle peppers and it was perfect for this house. (maybe should have used more, to keep them from eating so much, lol!)
