Ingredients

Sticky Tennessee Honey Wing Sauce

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup Jack Daniel's Tennessee Honey
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tsp Tabasco sauce
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 4 tbsp butter

Grilled Chicken Wings

  • 1 tbsp kosher salt
  • 2 tsp course ground black pepper
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 30 chicken wings

Instructions

Sticky Tennessee Honey Wing Sauce

  • Heat olive oil in a saucepot over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 3 minutes.
  • Add the Jack Daniel's Tennessee Honey, brown sugar, honey, chicken broth, soy sauce, Tabasco sauce and salt. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally for 10 minutes. The sauce will thicken and become syrupy.
  • Reduce heat to low and stir in the butter, until melted. Turn off the heat.

Grilled Chicken Wings

  • Combine the salt, pepper, garlic powder and cayenne pepper. Separate the wing flaps from the drumettes. Rub the combined spices onto the chicken wings.
  • Set up the grill so there is a direct heat and indirect heat area. If using a pellet grill, set the temperature to 275F. Cook the wings over the indirect area for 45 minutes or until the internal temperature of the wings reaches 165F degrees.
  • Toss the wings in the Sticky Tennessee Honey Wing Sauce.
  • Place the wings over the direct heat and grill, turning often until the sauce is gently charred. If using a pellet grill, set the temperature to 400 degrees.
