Chicken Wings with Jack Daniel's Marinade

As for the flavours, the combination is really tasty. You will see I have added some Jack Daniels in the marinade. For those of you who are worried about serving these to children, fear not! The alcohol is cooked out during the heat process, so you won’t have anyone getting drunk over these! Also, if you don’t have any Jack Daniels to hand, don’t go out buying it special for the recipe. Brandy, whisky or dark rum will also work nicely.

30-40 chicken wings, halved at the joints

Jack Daniel's Marinade:
6 Tbsp. pure honey
6 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 red chilli, chopped
½" fresh ginger, grated
7-8 sprigs of thyme, leaves chopped fine
4 Tbsp. Jack Daniels
2 tsp. ground cumin
2 Tbsp. brown sugar
2 Tbsp. olive oil

Prepare the chicken wings by washing and halving at the joints.

In a large ziplock bag (you might need 2 bags depending on what size they are), add ALL the ingredients and squash it around so the marinade is all mixed and coating the wings. Allow to chill overnight or at least for 4 hours.

Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).

Place the wings in a large baking pan (I used the disposable ones as I was taking these to a party). Spread the wings evenly so they are not on top of each other and pop in the oven for around 25-30 minutes or until they are nice and golden brown.
