I first made this honey chipotle wing sauce for deep-fried chicken tenders. It was so good that I knew I had to make a bigger batch and use it on wings next. This is easily one of my favorite homemade wing sauces. It has just the right amount of sweetness. From honey. Yummy honey. There’s just a little bit of heat and smokiness. Chipotle chili pepper is great in a sauce. It adds that bit of a kick from jalapenos. And it adds the flavor and aroma of the smoke used to smoke the jalapenos. It’s great stuff and it’s what really makes this sauce fantastic.
“Oh My Goodness” Good
You can make this honey chipotle wing sauce as thick or as thin as you want. The longer you simmer it, the thicker it gets. It also likes to thicken up a bit as it cools. I’ve been known to add more honey. That’ll thicken it up a bit while of course adding a bit more sweetness.
