Chipotle Chicken Wings 🍗

The best thing about this recipe is the versatile chipotle dry rub. You can use it as a fajita seasoning or taco seasoning or add a couple table spoons into sour cream for an awesome chipotle dipping sauce. It's perfect to rub allover a pork shoulder to make some incredibly tasty pulled pork or apply liberally to boneless skinless chicken thighs for some shredded southwest chicken.
