Ingredients

For the sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 large shallot, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 2 ounces bourbon
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon ancho pepper, finely chopped
  • 8 ounces chili sauce
  • 8 ounces barbecue sauce
  • 3 ounces wing sauce

For the wings:

  • Oil, for frying
  • 50 chicken wings
  • Blue cheese dressing, for serving
  • Bourbon, for serving

For the sauce:

Directions

In a large saucepan, melt the butter. Add the shallot and garlic cloves and saute, about 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the bourbon, brown sugar and the honey to heat through, 1 minute. Next add the ancho pepper, chili sauce, barbeque sauce, and wing sauce and cook, stirring occasionally for 2 minutes. Keep warm until ready to serve.

For the chicken wings:

Heat oil in a deep-fryer. As you make the sauce, drop chicken wings, in batches (the amount you drop in at 1 time will depend on the size of your fryer) into the deep-fryer. Fry until golden brown on both sides. Remove the wings from the oil and drain.

Add the wings to a large mixing bowl and toss in the sauce, coating each wing.

Serve blue cheese dressing and 1/2 shots of bourbon, on the side, for adults to sip.

    I saw the "Throw Down" with Bobby Flay and wanted to try them right away. I used a really cheap bourbon, Chipolte Chilis,... and Red Hots Buffalo wing sauce. Wing sauce can be a little hard to find, its by the ketchup section. It was soooo good. We will definately be making these again. Read more

    WOW!

    These were the best wings I have ever made! I was at work and saw the episode of Throw Down that these were featured on and... after trying them myself I knew that Bobby Flay never stood a chance! They were so good we made them again a day later. We cut the recipe in half to make it for two people. We used Jack Daniels BBQ sauce in addition to the Bourbon and we used dried chipotle peppers instead of the ancho pepper and it gave the sauce great smokiness. The second time we also added 1/4 of a teaspoon of dried mustard and really thought it enhanced the mid palate for the sauce and we may add more next time. I think the "wing sauce" in the recipe is suppose to just be "hot sauce" since the recipe already includes butter and all wing sauce contains is hot sauce and butter. We will definitely be making these again and if we ever make it up to Buffalo I know where we are going to eat! Thanks for sharing this great recipe with us! Read more

    We made these last night and they are easily the best wings we have made. The only substitution we made was chipotle... chillies as we already had a few of those. I can't wait to make these again!Read more

    I tired this recipe for a potluck at work, and everyone loved the wings. A matter of fact they were gone in 10 minute... literaly. I did not have Ancho chiles, so instead I just used crushed red pepper flakes and still came out well!Read more
