Avocado Chipotle Wings Recipe (Game Day Appetizer)

Avocado Chipotle Wings

With the NFL Super Bowl less than 3 days away, all the sports fanatics out there are gearing up!  There are Super Bowl recipe linkies and Pinterest boards out there in the blog world. I have had a really good time finding all the fun Super Bowl recipes.

Personally, we like Hot Wings and it is really fun to find new recipes so they don’t all taste the same.
