Instructions
Fireball Marinade and Chicken Wings
  1. Place the split chicken wings into a large bowl or gallon size plastic bags. Add remaining ingredients (Fireball Whiskey through cinnamon, and ground pepper if using). Toss until evenly coated. Marinate at least one hour in the fridge.

  2. Cook wings according to one of these methods:

    In the oven: Place the wings on a lined baking sheet. Place in a 425 degree oven for 40-45 minutes, flip them halfway through cooking. For extra crispy wings, turn the broiler on high for the last minute or 2 of cooking.

    In the smoker: Place the wings in a smoker set to 250 degrees for 2 and a half hours, flip them halfway through cooking.

    Use a thermometer to make sure they are at 170 degrees.

  3. Serve with Fireball Whiskey Sauce.
