Every time i make this recipe everyone wants the recipe. I do actually use a chipotle pepper food processed with the adobe because i get the adobe with the peppers. I think adding the pepper adds another great level to the sauce. Also let the sauce sit in fridge for 1-3 days before use. Letting the sauce sit allow for the flavors to really balance if used to soon the vinegar can be over powering. I have also prepped the wings by boiling instead of baking, almost as good and you don't have to heat up the house with the oven; and i make this in the summer for the grill when it is hot out.

We tried this recipe for a New Years Eve party. We love the ingredients! We cooked our sauce down and also used brown sugar to help cut the vinegar. The wings were a BIG hit! They had a nice bite and didn't burn the mouth like a Tabasco sauce. Love this recipe,will use again.
