These saucy wings will stay hot until you are ready to serve them. There is a bit of spice from the chipotles and tons of flavors from everything else in the mole sauce, but it comes together easily with the help of a food processor and a slow cooker. Enjoy.

Where can you find KLP Chipotle Peppers in Sauce?
OMG, Boni, it is supposed to be 2 of the chilies from the can – not two cans!! Yours must have been really spicy, I am impressed you still could take it. Sorry for the confusion.
These wings were very tender and flavorful but very spicy. I only added one can of chipotle chilies and next time I might only add half a can. I also doubled the amount of chocolate. Will definitely try again.
Wow these were easy to make and a huge hit with my whole family. So flavorful and great wings that don’t require unhealthy frying. A new, fun family favorite!
Easy to make and delicious! Served it with black beans and rice. Very nice flavor.
This was very easy to prepare but it wasn’t a good fit for my family. I knew my younger kids would find it too spicy, but thought the olders and I would enjoy. Unfortunately, the flavor profile didn’t match our tastes. I had halved the recipe except for the diced tomatoes (my fault) and that didn’t help. Oh well, we’ll try other new things…
I love slow cooker recipes and this one didn’t disappoint. So easy to prepare and chock full of flavor!
