Strawberry Chipotle Sauce
Ingredients
- 2 cups PA strawberries, hulled and halved
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 chipotle chili in adobo, chopped
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Wings

Method
- While the sauce simmers, preheat air fryer.
- Pat wings dry and toss with oil, salt and pepper. Arrange in single layer on rack or in basket of air fryer and cook at 380°F for 16 to 18 minutes, until skin is crispy and chicken is cooked through. Do not stack wings, work in batches if necessary.
- Taste sauce and add salt if needed. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Use immersion blender to puree sauce, or carefully transfer to blender and puree sauce until smooth. Toss wings with 1 cup sauce until coated. Reserve any remaining sauce for future use on chicken, pork, or your favorite grilled vegetables.
