Raquelle Zencka
  • 3 lbs. (about 36) Chicken Wings
Maple Chipotle Sauce Ingredients:
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • ¾ cup ketchup
  • ½ cup Evan Williams Bourbon
  • 4 tablespoons Hoisin Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Chinese Barbeque sauce
  • 1-2 teaspoons Chipotle paste
  • 1 cup real mayonnaise
In a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Cook onion until golden. Add all ingredients (except for the mayonnaise) to the onion mixture. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the mayonnaise. Reserve ½ cup of sauce. Brush and cover each wing with some of the remaining sauce, then grill or broil for about 15 minutes, basting with sauce during cooking.

Serve reserved sauce with cooked chicken wings.
