Ingredients
  

Chipotle Cashew Sauce

  • 1 cup raw cashews
  • 2 Tablespoons GOYA Lime Juice
  • 1 teaspoon GOYA Adobo All-Purpose Seasoning with Pepper
  • 1 pepper, finely chopped, plus 1 Tablespoon sauce from 1 can GOYA Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons GOYA Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 Tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro

Wings

  • 4 pounds split chicken wings
  • 4½ cups GOYA Mojo Criollo Marinade
  • 1 packet GOYA Sazón with Coriander and Annatto
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • ¼ cup GOYA Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 Tablespoon GOYA Adobo All-Purpose Seasoning with Pepper
  • 6 stalks celery cut into sticks (optional)

Instructions
 

Make the Chipotle Cashew Sauce

  • Soak cashews in lime juice, adobo seasoning, and ½ cup of water for at least 4 hours or up to overnight.

Meanwhile, Prepare the Wings

  • Meanwhile, toss the chicken wings with the mojo criollo, Sazón, and brown sugar. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to overnight. Remove chicken wings from marinade, discard marinade. Toss together chicken wings, oil, and adobo seasoning.
  • Preheat a grill to medium heat and oil the grate. Grill the wings, turning occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown, the skin is crispy, and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reaches an internal temperature of 165˚F, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer the wings to a platter and let rest for at least 10 minutes.
  • To finish the sauce, purée the cashews with their soaking liquid, the chipotle chile, adobo sauce, and oil until smooth and creamy, adding up to 2 Tablespoons water if needed for desired consistency. Stir in the cilantro. Scrape into a small bowl.
  • Serve the chicken wings with the chipotle cashew sauce and celery sticks.
