Howling Wings

 

30

chicken wing drummettes (about 3 lb)

1

can (7 oz) chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, chopped

1

cup zesty Italian dressing

1

jar (12 to 17 oz) caramel topping (3/4 to 1 cup)

• 1 Cut off excess skin from each drummette; discard. Place drummettes in large resealable food-storage plastic bag. Add chopped chipotle chiles and adobo sauce and dressing; seal bag. Turn bag to mix ingredients and coat drummettes. Refrigerate at least 4 hours but no longer than 24 hours, turning bag occasionally.
• 2 Heat oven to 425°F. Place sheet of foil in bottom of broiler pan. Arrange drummettes on foil. Bake 15 minutes; drain if necessary. Meanwhile, to make sauce, transfer marinade from bag to 2-quart saucepan; stir in caramel topping. Heat to boiling over medium-high heat; reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer.
• 3 Reduce oven temperature to 375°F; brush drummettes with sauce and bake about 30 minutes longer, brushing every 15 minutes with sauce, until browned and juice is clear when thickest part is cut to bone (180°F). Serve drummettes with sauce.
