How to Make Chili's Honey Chipotle Sauce

  1. In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup chili sauce, 1/4 cup honey, 2 tablespoons chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (finely chopped), 1 tablespoon lime juice, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin.
  2. Microwave on high for 1-1 1/2 minutes, or until heated through and slightly thickened, stirring halfway through.
  3. Remove from microwave and let cool completely (about 10-15 minutes) to allow the flavors to meld and deepen. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed (adding more honey for sweetness, lime juice for acidity, or chipotles for heat).
  4. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
