Servings: persons

6 guajillo chilies
1 small white onion, coarsely chopped
3 1/2-inch thick pineapple rounds
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
3 garlic cloves, halved
2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 large or 2 small chipotle chilies in adobo
1 teaspoons adobo from canned chipotle chilies in adobo
3 lbs chicken wings, cut into drumettes and flats
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 lime

1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F. Place guajillo chilies on a baking sheet and heat in oven until puffed up and aromatic, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Seed chilies, tear into pieces, and process in a spice grinder into a fine powder.
2
Coarsely chop 2 pineapple rounds, discarding core; cover and chill remaining pineapple. Place chopped onion and chopped pineapple in the jar of a blender. Add orange juice, vinegar, chili powder, garlic, salt, oregano, cumin, chipotles, and adobo; puree marinade until smooth. Place chicken wings in large resealable plastic bag. Add marinade and seal bag, releasing excess air. Turn to coat. Chill at least 4 hours to overnight.
3
Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees. Line rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and lay a wire rack inside. Arrange chicken wings on rack, leaving a little space between each wing. Place in the oven and cook until deeply browned, about 45 minutes.
4
Finely dice the remaining pineapple round. Move wings to a platter, sprinkle with pineapple, cilantro, and the juice of 1 lime. Serve immediately.
