About
this recipe
What's better than crispy wings slathered in your favorite, homemade sauce? Having three homemade sauces to slather them is. Sticky, sweet and spicy, this upgraded sports-bar favorite is designed to please a crowd (or just a couple of heavy hitters.) The dish is served with three bold sauces: Bourbon Sweet Chili, Kentucky White and Maker's Mark® BBQ Sauce. They're great with wings, but you'll find a variety of uses for these homemade sauces. All are prepared with Maker's Mark® Bourbon – as is the succulent marinade the wings are cooked in.
