These chipotle barbecue wings are proof of two things. One, Tabasco Chipotle Sauce is absolutely the tastiest, smoky pepper sauce you can find. And two, with just two ingredients you can make one of the best wing sauces you’ve had. Mild on the heat side, and full-power on the taste side, I could not have been happier with these wings.

The sauce on these chipotle barbecue wings is definitely not ‘just’ for wings. Oh me, is it ever good on grilled or smoked ribs. Ditto smoked pulled pork or brisket. And grilled chicken? Yeah, great there too. It has the perfect consistency to stick to anything you put it on without being too thick that it is gloppy. You can adjust the spicy level by using more or less of the Tabasco sauce. I found a 50/50 ratio to be perfect, giving me a little heat and a lot of flavor at the same time.

I used Sweet Baby Ray’s Barbecue Sauce in this recipe. Kraft Original Slow-Simmered BBQ Barbecue Sauce would be another great choice. You don’t want to grab something that is going to fight the pepper sauce. Just a good old school tomato-based sauce will do just fine.
