There are certain foods that just seem to be a lot of fun to eat. We may eat them on a regular basis and what we don’t have them at home, we may try to find them at a restaurant. One of those foods are barbecue wings and when they are made right, there is nothing quite as good.
There is not a need for you to go out to a restaurant any longer the fine great wings. You can now make them at home with this super easy recipe. You just toss them in oil, salt and pepper and then throw them in some Jack Daniels Honey barbecue sauce. Before you know it, you are going to be having a party, regardless of whether you are eating them with someone else or not. These are the real deal.
Ingredients:
For the chicken
1 dozen chicken wings, thawed and patted dry
¼ cup Vegetable oil
Salt and black pepper
For the JD honey BBQ sauce
1/4 cup Jack Daniel’s Tennessee whiskey
1/4 cup onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons molasses
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1-2 tablespoons honey
Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
Directions:
For the chicken, preheat the oven to 400F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and set a wire rack on top.
In a large bowl, add the chicken wings, enough oil to coat the wings, and a few pinches of salt and pepper then toss together.
Spread into a single layer on the sheet and bake 50-60 minutes or until crispy and fully cooked.
While the wings are cooking, make the sauce. In a medium saucepan, heat the Jack Daniel’s. When hot, add the onion and garlic. Cook until the onions start to soften.
Stir in the ketchup, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, molasses, tomato paste, and 1 tablespoon honey. Bring to a boil. Cook until reduced and thickened, about 10-15 minutes, stirring often. Taste the sauce and add the extra tablespoon of honey if needed.
When the wings come out of the oven, toss them in sauce and serve immediately.
