Andy Kimose is a Cordon Bleu trained chef with unique and innovative food ideas. While a few of his recipes are complicated, he believes in simplicity for most dishes.

Luckily, he shares some of his recipes, and his latest chicken wing recipe is so good, it is a must-serve for busy BellaOnline Quick Cooking site readers who are planning to celebrate Superbowl Sunday with good food. Chef Kimo’s Sticky Chipotle Wings are quick and easy (especially if precooked wings from the Basic Chicken Wing Module are in the freezer. These wings are fabulous, and have the perfect blend of hot, sweet, and savory; they will become a favorite of all armchair quarterbacks as well as those who aren’t watching the game on television, but are hanging out in the kitchen.

The heat of these wings can be varied by increasing or reducing the amount of chipotle chilies used in the sauce. The following recipe makes medium-hot wings, suitable for most palates, but a little too hot for bona fide wimps and children. Since the finished wings are sticky, make sure there are plenty of napkins.

12 Servings (24 wings)

2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/2 7 oz. jar chipotle chilies packed in adobo sauce
