Ingredients

2

lb chicken wings

5

teaspoons canola oil

1

teaspoon salt

1/2

teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1

cup apple jelly

1/3

cup bourbon

3

tablespoons packed brown sugar

2

cloves garlic, finely chopped

1/4

teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)

Preparation

Heat oven to 400°F. Line 15x10x1-inch pan with foil. Cut each chicken wing at joints to make 3 pieces; discard tip.

In large bowl, toss chicken with 2 teaspoons of the oil, the salt and black pepper. Place chicken in pan. Bake uncovered 50 minutes.

Meanwhile, in 1-quart saucepan, mix apple jelly, bourbon, brown sugar, garlic, red pepper and remaining 3 teaspoons oil. Heat to boiling over medium-high heat; reduce heat. Simmer 5 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Remove from heat.

Remove chicken from oven. Drizzle half of the sauce over chicken; turn to coat with sauce.

Bake 8 to 10 minutes longer or until chicken is no longer pink in center. Serve chicken wings with remaining sauce.
