Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Chipotle chilies are actually a dried, smoked jalapeño chili. They have a wrinkled, dark brown skin and a smoky, sweet flavor. In addition to dried, chipotle chilies can be found canned in adobo sauce.
  • tip 2
    Purchase already cut chicken wings in the meat or frozen foods section. They're sometimes called chicken drummies or wingettes and drummettes. You can use just the drummettes if you prefer.
