Meanwhile, in another large bowl, combine the orange juice concentrate and chipotle in adobo. Transfer about 1/4 cup of the sauce into a separate, small bowl.

Place the cooked wings in the large bowl with the sauce and toss to coat. Return to the baking sheet in a single layer. Return to the oven and bake until the wings are shiny and cooked completely, about 10 minutes.
Transfer the wings to a platter and brush on the remaining sauce. Sprinkle with orange zest and serve warm.
