That's a lot of vinegar. I'll be curious to see what you think of this.

I'll pass on the dip, just gimme a little ranch dressing

can't wait to hear how these came out!! I LOVE chicken wings!

I think I'll be cutting back on the vinegar a bit. Making the chipotle puree from scratch. Also pulvering the ancho's as I could only find dried versions of each.

My wife is a Flay fan (food and otherwise)- we've tried a few recipes out of his books and they were all great. BBQ/grilling is his thing, so I'm betting this is great

Sounds great!! Put out a plate for me

Awesome

I had no red wine, so used cider, and a splash of red wine I did not add salt, which I think, did not make an iota of difference.

The sauce is very good, I'd go for an overnight with the mixing (did 2 hours), and an occasioanl stirring. Use a brick of blue cheese, not the precrumbled stuff.

I made some garlic bread slices on the grill to go with the wings, and have nothing left

Cool - sounds like a good meal. I'm not much on chicken wings - here in Kansas, we usually deal in big, boneless slabs of meat - brisket, steak, chops, etc, but I can totally see some thick chicken breasts soaking in juicy sauce and sizzling away on the grill.

I do a Bleu cheese like that - 1/2 sour cream and 1/2 yogurt with lemon, garlic and scallion.

Wings - grilling those buggers is just begging for a pain with the fat causing fires. I either smoke them or bake them for a bit. Smoking them adds a ton of flavor of course. Baking them just renders some of the fat and makes them easier to grill for sure.

Thanks for the inspiration - have not done wings in months...

I either smoke them or bake them for a bit.

I have an Alton Brown recipe where you steam them for a few minutes then bake them. Really, really good. I recommend it. Google should turn up the recipe if anyone is interested.
