Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

  2. Place a baking rack on top of a baking sheet, and lay chicken wings on top. Spray with cooking spray and season with salt and pepper.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Flip wings and bake for another 15 minutes.

  4. While the wings are baking, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, cornstarch, chipotle peppers, bourbon, ginger, chile-garlic sauce, hot sauce, sesame oil, and liquid smoke in a small pot over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Lower heat slightly and simmer for 1 minute. Turn off the heat and keep sauce warm.

  5. Remove wings from the oven and turn on the broiler, if you can adjust the broiling temperature, select 480 degrees F (245 degrees C).

  6. Brush sauce on wings, and broil for 5 minutes. Flip wings, brush sauce on the other side, and broil for 5 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

  7. Garnish wings with sesame seeds and serve.

Recipe Note

This is the best/easiest way to cook wings, in my opinion! They are not fried, not greasy, are lower in calories, and oh so yummy! A little spicy, but not too much, and a little smoky from the chipotle and liquid smoke! Obviously bourbon is optional! I prefer the drummies, but my husband likes the whole wing, minus the wing tips. Your choice!
