Honey Bourbon Baked Wings start with a smokey BBQ Spice Rub and finish with a sweet bourbon sauce. These wings are sticky, boozy and downright delicious.
My husband and I adore chicken wings. Honey Bourbon Wings with a simple salad make a light, satisfying dinner. Plus, because they are baked, they are easy to make and much healthier than a fried wing.
We make my Oven Baked Hot Wings all the time too. I use the same baking technique on both styles of BBQ Wings and they come out perfect every time.
HOW TO MAKE HONEY BOURBON CHICKEN WINGS
BBQ Spice Rub
- Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. This spice rub can be used on pork, beef or even fish.
Bourbon Sauce - Make sauce while the wings are baking.
- Add brown sugar, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, honey, mustard, bourbon, corn starch and garlic to a saucepan and simmer for 10 minutes. Stirring often.
- Remove from the heat and set aside.
Wings
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Place rinsed and dried chicken wings in large bowl. If you start with a dry wing, you will get a crispier skin.
- Add olive oil and BBQ Spice Rub to the wings. Mix until each wing is coated well.
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. This will make clean up so much easier!
- Place chicken wings on baking sheet in a single layer, evenly spaced, not touching one another.
- Sprinkle more rub as needed.
- Bake for 40 minutes turning at the halfway mark.
- Dip each wing in Bourbon sauce and return to baking sheet.
- Bake for an additional 5 - 10 minutes until sauce begins to caramelize and set.
- Serve with extra sauce for dipping.
