SMOKY RUBBED CHICKEN WINGS WITH HONEY, BOURBON, AND MOLASSES SAUCE



Smoky Rubbed Chicken Wings with Honey, Bourbon, and Molasses Sauce image

I order chicken wings anytime I see them on a menu, and this recipe will make you realize just how incredible they can be. After a lot of trial and error, when I finally got the rub right I felt like I had unlocked a magic puzzle. There are a lot of ingredients in the rub, but they provide a perfect mix of sugar and spice, and the bourbon-spiked sauce coats the wings in yet another layer of bold flavor. If you prefer the grill to the oven, grill the wings over medium indirect heat (about 400 degrees F) for about 40 minutes, until they are almost done, before adding the sauce.

Time 6h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 cup store-bought spicy barbecue sauce, such as Rattler BBQ Sauce
1 cup tomato ketchup
1/4 cup molasses (not blackstrap)
1/2 cup bourbon, preferably Maker's Mark
1/2 cup honey
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon ground coriander seeds
1 tablespoon sweet smoked paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
3/4 teaspoon celery salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
5 1/2 pounds chicken wingettes (see Cook's Note)

Steps:

  • To make the sauce: Bring all of the ingredients to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, whisking often. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, whisking occasionally to discourage scorching, until lightly thickened and reduced by about one-quarter, about 30 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool. (The sauce can be covered and refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.)
  • To make the rub: Whisk all of the ingredients together in a small bowl.
  • Put the wingettes in a very large bowl and toss with the rub. Divide the wingettes among two 1-gallon self-sealing plastic bags, seal, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Position racks in the top third and center of the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line two 18-by-13-inch half-sheet pans with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
  • Spread the wingettes out on the baking sheets, spacing them well apart. Roast the wingettes, turning the wings over and switching the positions of the baking sheets from top to bottom and front to back halfway through cooking, until the wings are crisp and cooked through, about 40 minutes. During the last 5 minutes, brush the wings with some of the sauce. Remove the wings from the oven.
  • Position a broiler about 8 inches from the source of heat and preheat the broiler on high. In batches, broil the wings to caramelize the sauce in spots, about 3 minutes. Serve hot, with any leftover sauce passed on the side.
