By SSmith

Ingredients

• Ingredients:
• For the chicken
• 1 dozen chicken wings, thawed and patted dry
• 1/4 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)

Preparation

Step 1

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.
