Sticky Bourbon Chicken Wings

Note: If you need to cut your chicken wings, add a few more minutes on the front end of your prep time.
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 45 minutes
Total Time 55 minutes
Servings 15 pieces

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds chicken wings
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon butter
  • 2 tablespoons grated onion (or 1 1/2 tablespoons onion powder)
  • 3/4 cup good bourbon
  • 3/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add grated onion (or onion powder) and cook 203 minutes stirring occasionally. Add the bourbon, maple syrup, tomato paste, salt and pepper. Whisk to combine and bring to a low simmer.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place chicken wings in a bowl and pour half of the bourbon maple sauce over the wings. Return the remaining sauce to the stove top and keep warm. Toss the wings in the sauce, making sure each wing is coated. Place wings on an oiled, foil lined backing pan. Make sure wings are not touching.
  • Roast the wings for 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees. Using tongs, turn the wings over and continue to cook for 12-15 minutes. Wings should be nicely browned but not burned.
  • While the wings are roasting, continue to simmer the remaining sauce. Sauce will thicken. When it can coat the back of a spoon it is done; remove from heat.
  • When the wings are done, remove them to a bowl and toss with the remaining sauce. Serve warm.
