Okay, friends, let's be real. I've always been a wing fanatic. I mean, who isn't? But after one too many boring buffalo wing nights, I needed a change. A flavor explosion! One of my friends told me about her visit to a food market in Mexico city and how she devoured elote and wings at the same time. That's when it hit me. Why not combine the best of both worlds? That's how these Chipotle Lime Elote Wings were born.
These wings aren't just a snack; they're an experience. The smoky heat of chipotle peppers dances with the zesty brightness of lime, all while clinging to crispy chicken wings. Then, the creamy, cheesy sauce, reminiscent of authentic elote, takes it all to another level. Its a dish that's surprisingly easy to make, and i'm sure will make your family or friends appreciate every bit of it.

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Prep the Wings: If using whole wings, separate them into drumettes and wingettes. Pat them dry with paper towels. This is REALLY important; dry wings crisp up better!
- Season the Wings: In a large bowl, toss the wings with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Make sure every wing is coated evenly.
- Bake the Wings: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the sheet. Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they're golden brown and crispy. If you like them extra crispy, broil them for the last 2-3 minutes, but watch them like a hawk—they can burn easily!
- Make the Elote Sauce: While the wings are baking, prepare the elote sauce. In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, chipotle pepper in adobo sauce (minced), cotija cheese (crumbled), cilantro (chopped), and a pinch of salt. Adjust the amount of chipotle to your spice preference. If you're not a fan of spice, start with a small amount and taste as you go.
- Toss and Serve: Once the wings are done, let them cool for a minute or two (I know, torture!), then toss them in the elote sauce until they're fully coated. Garnish with extra cotija cheese and cilantro. Serve immediately and watch them disappear!
- Optional additions: If you like to be a little extra, you could add some Tajin seasoning over the wings before baking to give an extra kick. Or top with a fried egg. Make sure not to skip the lime wedge at the end!
📝 Notes
- Adjust the amount of chipotle pepper to your spice preference.
- For extra crispy wings, broil for the last few minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
