Method

Preparation of Wings

  1. 1

    Season the Wings

    In a large bowl, combine chicken wings, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and olive oil. Toss well to coat the wings evenly.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Cooking the Wings

  1. 3

    Bake the Wings

    Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until wings are crispy and cooked through.

Making the Sauces

  1. 4

    Prepare Whiskey Agave Sauce

    In a saucepan, combine agave nectar, whiskey, soy sauce, sriracha, and lime juice. Heat over medium heat, stirring until smooth and slightly thickened. Remove from heat.

  2. 5

    Prepare Bourbon Maple Glaze

    In another saucepan, combine maple syrup, bourbon, Dijon mustard, and black pepper. Heat over medium heat, whisking until well combined and slightly thickened. Remove from heat.

  3. 6

    Prepare Bourbon BBQ Sauce

    In a saucepan, mix ketchup, bourbon, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Heat over medium heat, stirring until combined and thickened. Remove from heat.

Serve the Wings

  1. 7

    Toss Wings in Sauce

    Once wings are cooked, remove from the oven and toss them in your choice of the whiskey agave sauce, bourbon maple glaze, or bourbon BBQ sauce.

  2. 8

    Prepare Green Chili Ranch

    In a small bowl, combine ranch dressing, green chilies, and lime juice. Mix well.

  3. 9

    Serve

    Serve the wings hot with a side of green chili ranch for dipping.
