Today Sunbasket is sharing this recipe for their “Chipotle Roasted Chicken Wings with Sweet Potatoes and Salsa Verde” with me. And I, in turn am sharing it with you! And wait until you see how simple it is to make.

The Meal:
This meal is incredibly simple to make: simply toss chicken wings in chipotle BBQ sauce and roast in the oven alongside sliced sweet potatoes. After cooking, the potatoes are tossed in a healthy salsa verde!
The Sauce: Use store bought and add the chipotle!
When it comes to Whole30 there are more and more amazing pre-made options available in stores and online. Tessamae’s BBQ Sauce has become the go to many Whole30’ers and is available at many markets including Whole Foods Market. Then all you have to do, is add some chipotle chilis in adobo sauce to spice it up. Of course if you prefer your wings a little less hot, you can omit the chili peppers.

How To:
To make this gorgeous meal I simply pulled the Sun Basket bag with all the pre-measured ingredients out of my fridge…
…did a little slicing and chopping…
…and popped it all in the oven.
Forty minutes later we enjoyed these tender roasted chicken wings in a spicy chipotle BBQ sauce baked alongside sweet potatoes drizzled with a little salsa verde and only had to clean one pan!
The Recipe: Chipotle Roasted Chicken Wings With Sweet Potatoes and Salsa Verde
Tips and what you need: You can find paleo/W30 approved BBQ sauce online or in many stores. To make the sauce ‘chipotle sauce’ you will need gluten free chipotle in adobo sauce. They are usually available at the grocery store but if you can’t find them you can have them delivered to you door.

A quick and easy spicy meal! Use a store bought Paleo or Whole30 BBQ sauce and add chipotle peppers for a little zing! If you prefer your wings a little more mild, omit chipotle peppers.
