Drunken BBQ Chicken Wings

You’ll love the BBQ sauce on these wings. It’s a very traditional ketchup-based sauce with beer added in for a nice change.

Ingredients

  • 4 pounds chicken wings cut into flats and drumettes, tips removed (reserve for making chicken stock)
  • 1 bottle beer
  • 2 tablespoons your favorite BBQ seasoning

For the BBQ sauce:

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 325 F.
  • Cover the bottom of a large Dutch oven with the wings. Sprinkle with the BBQ rub. Add another layer of wings and rub until all of the wings are in the pot.
  • Slowly add the bottle of beer to the pot.
  • Cover the pot with foil (unless yours has a very tight-fitting lid) and add the lid.
  • Place in oven for about an hour or until the chicken is done, but not quite falling off the bone.
  • Meanwhile, make the BBQ sauce by combining the remaining ingredients in a small pot over medium heat. Whisk to combine. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and continue simmering for 10 minutes. Remove from heat until ready to use.
  • Remove pot from oven. Transfer wings to a rack over a baking pan.
  • Baste wings with the sauce. Place under broiler for a few minutes until starting to brown.
  • Flip wings, baste again, and place back under the broiler for a minute.
  • Flip wings one more time, baste, and place under broiler until they are the color you desire.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

To make these wings in a crockpot

  • Follow the directions above, except layer the wings in the bottom of a crockpot. Cover and cook on low 5-6 hours.
