Ingredients

For the glaze
2 tablespoons butter
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1 to 2 habanero chili peppers, minced
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup dark soy sauce
2 tablespoons (heaping) brown sugar
3/4 to 1 teaspoons coarsely ground black pepper
For the wings
2 pounds chicken wings, tips removed
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons peanut, corn, olive, canola or vegetable oil
1 teaspoon (heaping) granulated garlic powder
1 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions

1

Heat a small pot over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons butter. Once melted, add the garlic and habaneros. Stir and saute until the garlic is lightly golden and fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
2

Slowly add the apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar and 3/4 to 1 teaspoon black pepper to the pot. Bring the sauce to a boil, reduce heat, and let simmer for 10 to 15 minutes until sauce is reduced and thickens a bit. Set aside.
3

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Very lightly oil a large rimmed baking sheet. Dry chicken wings with paper towels and place in large bowl. In a cup, mix together melted butter, peanut oil, garlic powder, salt and 3/4 teaspoon black pepper. Pour over wings in bowl, mix, and massage seasoning mixture onto the wings to coat. Lay wings out, not touching, on prepared baking sheet.
4

Bake wings for 45 to 55 minutes until toasty brown and cooked through. Place cooked wings in a large bowl, drizzle with adobo glaze, gently toss to coat evenly and serve up with some blue cheese dressing and frosty beer. HA-CHA-CHA!
