Fireball Whiskey Chicken Wings
Fireball Whiskey is not really my friend when taken as a shot. But when made as Fireball Whiskey Chicken Wings recipe, it’s absolutely my best buddy!
This recipe gem was the genius idea of my husband, so I cannot take credit for the inspiration, only for the recipe.
This chicken wing recipe could be baked in the oven or smoked.
We smoked ours in the Traeger.
My husband is a chicken wing junkie and could probably eat them every day.
He got 4 pounds from a local butcher shop already split, which is just enough for him.
Here is how to make Fireball Whiskey Chicken Wings…
The marinade/ seasoning is simply Fireball Whiskey, brown sugar, kosher salt, pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, paprika, cinnamon.
(duh, gotta have cinnamon in a Fireball seasoning 😉
Also just a small amount of ground red pepper for heat, add more if you prefer extra spicy.
Toss it all together and marinate in the fridge for an hour.
If you’re baking these in the oven, place on a lined baking sheet and into a 425 degree oven for 40-45 minutes.
If you are smoking them, place in a 250 degree smoker for 2 and a half hours.
Flip them halfway through cooking.
We have a Traeger and use the Signature Blend pellets and it’s amazing!
To make the sauce in a saucepan add Fireball, brown sugar, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, garlic, ground red pepper, just a bit of kosher salt and pepper, and worcestershire sauce.
Confession…I had to look at the bottle to get the spelling of worcestershire sauce correct each and every time I wrote it in this post.
I’m still not certain I pronounce it correctly, but just love me anyway 🙂
Bring this mixture to a boil and simmer about 10 more minutes.
When the Fireball Whiskey Chicken Wings are ready to be devoured, serve with the extra sauce and enjoy!
