Oh, goodness me! Raspberry chipotle wings are my newest food addiction. The sauce is just crazy good. Great berry flavor and a nice helping of heat. And a little bit of sweet to temper that kick just a bit. I used fresh local raspberries, but frozen would work just fine too.
The raspberry chipotle sauce would also be great on a grilled pork tenderloin, or just grilled chicken. I wouldn’t be afraid to add a bit more of the chipotle if you’re into heat like I am. Just make sure that when you strain the sauce you don’t let any seeds through.
Also try my chipotle blackberry wings and my crispy chipotle wings.
I absolutely love chicken wings, cooked any way, with any sauce (or without). I love them so much that I created a free eCookbook that is full of my favorite wing recipes.
Raspberry Chipotle Wings
Ingredients
For the wings
- 3-4 pounds chicken wings flats and drumettes separated, tips discarded or saved for making chicken broth

- 2-3 tablespoons Buffalo seasoning or Fire Eater rub
For the sauce
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 sweet onion chopped
- 2 cups raspberries
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons molasses
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon chipotle peppers in adobo sauce or more, I ended up using 2 tablespoons, chopped, with some of the sauce added
- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
For the wings
- Place wings into a large resealable bag.
- Add the oil.
- Add the Buffalo seasoning. Seal the bag, and toss gently to coat.
- Refrigerate for up to 3 hours before cooking.
- When done, place wings in a large bowl and add sauce. Toss to coat.
For the sauce
- Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the onion and saute until starting to soften, about 5 minutes.
- Add all of the remaining ingredients.
- Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and continue simmering until reduced by half, about 15 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Transfer sauce to a blender and puree until smooth.
- Strain through a fine mesh sieve, pressing to remove the solids.
- If sauce is too thin return it to the saucepan over low heat while cooking the wings. Do not let the sauce burn, though.
