Personally, we like Hot Wings and it is really fun to find new recipes so they don’t all taste the same.

Avocado Chipotle Wings Recipe
The avocado in this recipe helps to calm some of the heat from the Tabasco. Really good for those who like their "hot" less hot.
Ingredients
- 1 avocado peeled and pit removed
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 3 tablespoon Tabasco brand chipotle pepper sauce
- Juice of large fresh-squeezed lime
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1/2 garlic clove grated
- Vegetable oil or canola oil
- 2 dozen chicken wings
- 1/4 cup Wondra flour or rice flour
Instructions
Combine avocado, cilantro, Tabasco chipotle sauce, lime juice, cumin, salt, water and garlic in a food processor and process until smooth.
Preheat vegetable oil in fryer to 350º F.

Fry wings for 10 minutes or until golden and crispy. Remove from fryer; drain and transfer to a bowl. Toss wings with desired amount of Avocado Chipotle sauce.
