Bourbon Buffalo Wings
Get all the tips you need for a great plate of wings during the big game - and whenever you want a treat.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken wings drumettes and flats
- ¼ cup Horse Soldier Bourbon
- 2 tbsp BBQ rub
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley finely chopped
For the Glaze:
- 4 tbsp butter
- ¼ cup Horse Soldier Bourbon
- ¼ cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup Horse Soldier hot sauce
- 2 tsp cider vinegar
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp honey
Instructions
- Place the chicken in a zip top bag, and add ¼ cup of bourbon to the bag. Remove as much air as possible and seal bag, allow the chicken to marinate for 30-60 minutes.
- While chicken is marinating, light grill and set up for two-zone cooking, establishing temperature at 385°F.
- Remove the wings from the marinade and season them with your favorite BBQ rub, then place them on the grill over indirect heat. Close the lid and allow them to roast for 40-45 minutes, until the internal temperature of the wings reaches 195°F.
- While the chicken is roasting, make the glaze by melting butter in a medium-size saucepan over medium high heat. Once butter has melted, add bourbon and whisk in brown sugar until it dissolves into the bourbon and butter mixture. Then whisk in the remaining ingredients for the glaze and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce and thicken.
- Remove the wings from the grill, and place them in a large mixing bowl. Pour warm glaze on the chicken.
- Toss the wings in the sauce to coat them evenly.
- Plate the wings and garnish with parsley for service.
