Recipe: Charred Apricot-Whiskey Wings

The first time I tried to make this, I didn’t have the apricot preserves. So I ended up making a bourbon sauce with fresh rosemary and other miscellaneous ingredients and it turned out pretty awful. So I was a little nervous this time around but it ended up being sooooo goood. Damn rosemary…gets me every time.

Ingredients:

¾ cup apricot preserves

3 tablespoons bourbon

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

½ tablespoons sriracha

2 pounds chicken wings, separated, tips discarded

Chopped scallions or cilantro, for serving

Directions:

1. In large bowl, whisk together apricot preserves, bourbon, lime juice, soy sauce, and sriracha until smooth and combined. Transfer ¼ cup to small bowl and set aside.

2. Add chicken wings and remaining sauce to a large bowl and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours and up to 4 hours.

3. Heat grill to low. Place wings bone side down on grill and grill covered 10 min. Flip and continue grilling until cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes more. Toss with reserved sauce and serve sprinkled with chopped scallions or cilantro.

Lo Note: We don’t have a grill, so we baked the wings for 20 minutes on each side at 350°.
