Ingredients

  • 8 ounces canned diced green chili peppers
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
  • 3/4 cup honey
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1/3 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 24 chicken wing drummettes

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 400° F.
  2. Combine all ingredients except the chicken wings in a large bowl.
  3. Add the chicken and toss to coat.
  4. Place the chicken wings in a baking dish and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Check for doneness.
  5. Serve the wings hot or place in a covered warming dish or crock pot on low setting until ready to serve.

Helpful hints

  • Buy fresh wing drummettes. A 1-1/4 pound package contains approximately 12 drummettes. If unavailable, ask your butcher to cut whole chicken wings into drummette size.
  • Boneless chicken pieces may be used in this recipe. Check for doneness after 20 minutes.
  • Choose lowest sodium brand barbecue sauce or instead of using commercial barbecue sauce, serve with DaVita.com’s recipe for Zesty Barbecue Sauce. Sodium content is much lower.
  • Look for the lowest sodium brand of green chili peppers. Sodium varies greatly between brands.
