🍯🔥 10 Ways to Infuse Your Kitchen with Los Nogales Honey Chipotle Magic
Our Los Nogales Honey Chipotle is a liquid golden secret—a perfect marriage of sweet wildflower honey and smoky chipotle heat. It’s an all-year kitchen essential, ready to use right out of the jar. Here are 10 of our family’s favorite ways to use it:
Â
1. The Ranch Hand Chicken Glaze (Grilling/Oven)
This is the quintessential use for this flavor profile! It locks in the smoky-sweet heat to keep chicken juicy. Directions:During the last 10 minutes of grilling or baking your chicken wings, drumsticks, or quarters, brush the pieces liberally with the Honey Chipotle glaze. For extra brightness, whisk in a splash of fresh lime juice before applying. The honey will caramelize into a beautiful, sticky crust.
2. Sweet & Smoky Salmon Fillets (Oven/Baking)
Elevate simple salmon with a gourmet touch. Directions: Place your salmon fillets skin-side down on a sheet pan. Mix your Honey Chipotle with a touch of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Spread generously over the fish and bake at 400° – 200° F until the fish is flaky and the glaze is bubbly.
3. Los Nogales Vinaigrette (Raw/Dressing)
Forget the bottled dressings—this sweet and smoky vinaigrette is fantastic over a fresh salad or a grain bowl. Directions: Combine 2 parts neutral-flavored oil (like canola or vegetable oil), 1 part apple cider vinegar, and 1 part Los Nogales Honey Chipotle. Whisk vigorously until emulsified. Drizzle over a fresh salad of mixed greens, black beans, corn, and avocado.
4. Spicy-Sweet Pork Ribs (Oven/Slow-Cooked)
For a classic BBQ finish, use your honey as the perfect finishing sauce. Directions: Bake or smoke your baby back ribs until they are nearly fall-off-the-bone tender. In the final minutes of cooking, brush the ribs heavily with the Honey Chipotle sauce. The ribs will develop a perfect, sticky, sweet, and fiery crust.
5. Sunset Scallop Marinade (Raw/Grilling)
The honey tenderizes and the chipotle provides a deep flavor to delicate seafood. Directions: Gently toss raw scallops or jumbo shrimp with the Honey Chipotle, a squeeze of orange zest, and a pinch of salt. Marinate for just 15 minutes(any longer and the acidity can affect the texture of the seafood), then thread onto skewers and quickly grill until just cooked through.
