Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons butter
1 large shallot, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2 ounces Bourbon
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup honey
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1 tablespoon ancho chili, finely chopped (or chipotle peppers)
8 ounces chili sauce
8 ounces barbecue sauce (Jack Daniels)
3 ounces hot sauce
oil, for frying
50 chicken wings
blue cheese dressing, for serving
Bourbon, for serving

Steps:

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, dry mustard and hot 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.
