Peach Bourbon Wings Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken wings, separated into flats and drumettes
- ⅓ cup Jocelyn & Co. Peach Bourbon Jam
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh thyme or rosemary for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the wings: Pat your chicken wings dry with paper towels and season generously with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika on all sides.
- Bake: Arrange wings on a lined baking sheet in a single layer. Bake at 400°F for 20–25 minutes until golden and cooked through, stirring halfway through.
- Make the glaze: While wings cook, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in Jocelyn & Co. Peach Bourbon Jam, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and cayenne pepper. Simmer for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until smooth and glossy. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Coat the wings: Transfer baked wings to a large bowl. Pour the warm glaze over the wings and toss until evenly coated.
- Finish and serve: Return glazed wings to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 5 minutes to set the glaze. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Chef's Tips
For extra depth, add a splash of bourbon or whiskey directly to the glaze. The acidity in the apple cider vinegar balances the sweetness of Jocelyn & Co.'s Peach Bourbon Jam beautifully—don't skip it. If you prefer crispier wings, broil them for the final 2–3 minutes after glazing, watching carefully to avoid burning. These wings are best served hot and fresh, but leftovers reheat well in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes.
The beauty of Jocelyn & Co. Peach Bourbon Jam is its versatility—this glaze works equally well on pork chops, salmon, or even roasted vegetables. Once you master this recipe, you'll find yourself reaching for the jar again and again.
