Preparation
Prepare Florida Orange Mescal Glaze: Place Florida orange juice and mescal in saucepan; cook over medium heat until volume is reduced by two-thirds. Remove from heat; stir in agave syrup, olive oil, chipotle pepper purée, cumin and chili powder. Reserve.
Combine one-half of prepared Florida Orange Mescal Glaze with chicken wings, Florida orange slices, red onions and cilantro in large bowl; toss to coat thoroughly.
Place chicken wing mixture in covered container; marinate in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 3 hours. Cover and refrigerate remaining Florida Orange Mescal glaze.
Remove chicken wings from marinade; discard marinade. Season chicken wings with salt and pepper to taste; grill over medium-high heat until cooked through. Toss with remaining prepared Florida Orange Mescal Glaze and lime juice; serve.
*For chipotle pepper purée: Purée one (7-ounce) can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce in blender. Refrigerate remaining purée for other uses.
