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.

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

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.
