How to Make Chipotle Agave Chicken Wings

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together agave nectar, chipotle peppers, lime juice, olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper for the marinade.
  2. Add chicken wings to the marinade, ensuring they are thoroughly coated.
  3. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
  4. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  5. Place a wire rack on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly brush the rack with vegetable oil.
  6. Remove wings from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off, and arrange them in a single layer on the prepared wire rack.
  7. Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through (around 25 minutes), until wings are golden brown and crispy.
  8. While wings bake, prepare the wing sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine agave nectar, chipotle peppers, lime juice, olive oil, and chicken broth.
  9. Bring to a simmer, whisking constantly until slightly thickened (about 5 minutes).
  10. Remove from heat and set aside.
  11. Prepare the crema: In a small bowl, combine sour cream, lime juice, and salt. Stir well.
  12. Once wings are cooked, transfer them to a large bowl.
  13. Pour the agave wing sauce over the wings and toss gently to coat evenly.
  14. Serve immediately with the crema dipping sauce on the side.
