Cherry-Chipotle Wings

1 teaspoon of smoked paprika

1 teaspoon of garlic powder

1 teaspoon of ground cumin

1 1/2 teaspoons of salt

4 pounds of chicken wings wing tips removed and split at the joint

1 cup of cherry preserves

2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce seeded and minced

1 tablespoon of lime juice

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Lightly oil 2 baking sheet pans.
2. Combine the paprika, garlic powder, cumin and salt in a bowl; toss with the wings.
3. Combine the preserves, chipotle peppers and juice in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat; cook 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool 5 minutes. Pour 1/2 of the preserve mixture over the wings and toss well to coat.
4. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the baking sheet pans. Bake 15 minutes; rotate the pans in the oven and bake another 10 minutes. Brush the wings with the remaining preserve mixture and bake an additional 5 minutes, until the glaze is set.
