Categories     Appetizer     Cinco de Mayo     Backyard BBQ     Grill     Grill/Barbecue     Honey     Dairy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup honey
2 to 3 tablespoons pureed canned chipotle chiles in adobo
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
4 tablespoons ancho chile powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons canola oil
2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons Spanish paprika
3 pounds chicken wings
2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
3 green onions, white and green parts, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Heat your grill to medium-high
  • Whisk together the honey, chipotle puree, 1 tablespoon of the mustard, 1 tablespoon of the ancho powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons of the oil in a small bowl. Divide the glaze evenly between 2 bowls, one small, the other large.
  • Stir together the remaining 3 tablespoons of ancho powder with the coriander, cumin, and paprika in a small bowl.
  • Rinse the chicken wings under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Cut the tips off the wings and discard (or freeze and use for making chicken stock). Cut each wing into 2 pieces through the joint.
  • Place the chicken wings in a large bowl, add the spice rub and the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper and place the wings on the grill in an even layer. Grill until golden brown and slightly charred, 4 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat of the grill to medium, turn the wings over, and close the lid of the grill. Continue grilling until just cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes longer, brushing with the small bowl of glaze every few minutes and turning once during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
  • Transfer the wings to the large bowl, brush with the reserved glaze, and toss to coat. Transfer to a platter and sprinkle with the sesame seeds and green onions.

PRESSURE COOKER CHIPOTLE-HONEY CHICKEN TACOS



Pressure Cooker Chipotle-Honey Chicken Tacos image

If you have an electric pressure cooker, you can throw together a big batch of spicy chicken and black bean tacos in about 30 minutes. Smoky canned chipotles in adobo and honey do most of the heavy lifting here, combining to create a glossy, spicy-sweet sauce. Chipotles can pack varying levels of heat, so if you want your tacos on the milder side, use only one or two peppers. You can always drizzle with hot sauce at the table. The pickled onions are not absolutely necessary, but they add acidity and crunch that contrast nicely with the spicy shredded chicken. (Get the slow cooker version of this recipe here.)

Categories     dinner, weekday, poultry, tacos, main course

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 to 4 canned chipotles in adobo, finely chopped, plus 2 tablespoons adobo sauce
3 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus additional as needed
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 lime, juiced
Warmed tortillas, for serving
Pickled onion, for serving (see Tip)
Sliced or cubed avocado, for serving

Steps:

  • Combine the chicken, chipotles and adobo sauce, honey, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and cumin in an electric pressure cooker. Stir well. Cover and set steam valve to sealed position. Cook on high pressure for 13 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes; then release the remaining pressure manually. Open the lid.
  • Remove the chicken to a bowl or cutting board using tongs. Shred the chicken with two forks. If you'd like to reduce the sauce, set to sauté and simmer, 5 minutes. Add the chicken back into the pot.
  • Stir in the black beans and a squeeze of lime juice, set to sauté and let the beans warm through, 2 to 3 minutes. Taste and add more salt or lime juice if necessary. Serve in tortillas with pickled onions and avocado.
