Three-Chile Wings of Fire Sauce:
3 chipotle chiles, stems removed
2 dried red New Mexican chiles, stems and seeds removed
1 onion, chopped
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 chiltepins, crushed (or substitute 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne chile)
1/3 cup catsup
3 tablespoons vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 cups water
Salt to taste
The Wings:
2 pounds chicken wings
Saute the onion in the oil in a saucepan until soft. Add the garlic and saute for another 2 to 3 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients, including the softened chiles, bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes to thicken. Remove from the heat, place in a blender and food processor and puree until smooth. Strain if desired.
Grill the wings over a medium fire, turning often, for 10 minutes. Baste with the sauce frequently during the final 10 minutes of cooking, taking care not to burn the wings.
