Chicken Wings with Maple, Bacon (and a Little Bourbon)

There are many reasons to love a luscious pile of chicken wings on your plate, but honestly, maple, bacon and bourbon? Yup.

Ingredients

• Chicken wings (about 2-3 pounds)

• Salt and Pepper

• 6-8 Slices of bacon, cooked crisp, removed and broken into pieces

• 1/4 cup maple syrup

• 2 Tbsp. bacon drippings

• 2 Tbsp. cider vinegar

• 2 Tbsp. Bourbon

Directions

Set oven to 425 F.

Spread chicken wings on 2 oiled rimmed baking sheets, with salt and pepper, and roast until very crisp, about 35-45 minutes. Or, you can do the wings on a grill, as well.

Meanwhile, cook 6-8 slices bacon in a skillet until crisp; drain and crumble.

Mix together bacon drippings with maple syrup and 2 tablespoons each cider vinegar and bourbon.

Toss the wings with the syrup mixture and add the bacon at the end.
