Ingredients

Chicken

  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked pepper
  • 3 lb chicken wingettes and drummettes
  • 12 slices bacon, cut in half crosswise

Bourbon Sauce

  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/2 cup bourbon
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 425°F. Line 2 cookie sheets with sides with heavy-duty foil; spray with cooking spray.
  • 2
    Sprinkle pepper over chicken. Wrap each chicken piece with a half slice of bacon.
  • 3
    Place bacon-wrapped chicken pieces on cookie sheets, bacon end down. Bake uncovered 30 minutes; turn chicken; rotate cookie sheets in oven. Bake 20 to 30 minutes longer or until golden brown and juice of chicken is clear when thickest part is cut to bone (at least 165°F).

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Purchase already cut chicken wings in the meat or frozen foods section. They're sometimes called chicken drummies or wingettes and drummettes. You can use just the drummettes if you prefer.
