When I'm having wings I almost always reach for the honey-chipotle BBQ sauce. It's a delicate balance between the heat from the chipotles and the sweetness from the honey. Here's a simple version I enjoy making that finds that balance. Of course, you can always add more chipotle peppers if you prefer hotter sauces! If you prefer a thicker sauce you can add another 0.5 to 1 grams of xanthan gum, or let it reduce some more before adding the xanthan gum.

Blend all of the ingredients except the xanthan gum together. Bring the mixture to a boil and let simmer for 10 minutes while stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat, add the xanthan gum and blend well.
