Bacon Jam Wings
I always liked chicken wings but since David and I have been together, I’ve been eating them regularly. It’s a great finger food and when they’re served along with crudités and a nice dipping sauce like Ranch or Blue Cheese dressing, to me it’s a complete meal!
We eat them at least once a month and because of that, it’s nice to diversify the flavor by making them with different sauces. I’ve already shared many of them like my Smoky Buffalo, Triple Chili, Mango Chipotle, Ethiopian Red Pepper, Hawaiian Style Teriyaki, and so on. Now let’s add another incredible one to the list… my Bacon Jam Wings!
OMG! These Bacon Jam Wings are unbelievably delicious! It’s the perfect harmony of smokiness, sweetness and saltiness all together! To achieve this extremely flavorful sauce I use my tasty Bourbon Maple Bacon Jam! Without adding more ingredients to it, you can just imagine how fantastic it can be. From there, of course, I add more to it – hey, I’m making a finger licking sauce here… it has to be “wow”!
When I cook the sauce, I like to simmer it for 25 minutes or until it has reduced by half. Then I reduce the heat to medium-low and cook it for an additional 15 minutes or until the desired consistency is reached. We personally like the sauce thin enough to be pourable but also thick enough to stick to the wings but if you prefer it thinner or thicker, adjust the cooking time accordingly
In the video, after the sauce is made, I pour it on the cooked chicken wings and drumettes. I don’t show how to make them but I highly recommend you click on this link to view this great recipe… Baked Chicken Drumettes and Wings.
These Bacon Jam Wings are spectacular! If you like bacon and who doesn’t, this is an amazing recipe to add to your folder. Although the recipe is made with poultry, nothing is stopping you from pairing the yummy sauce with other proteins…
Bon Appétit!
