sweet, smoky, and finished with intention.
this peach bourbon honey glaze builds on a bottled base, elevated with citrus, butter, and balance — turning something simple into a polished, restaurant-style finish.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 45–50 minutes

Total Time: 60–65 minutes

Yield: Serves 4 (about 2 lbs wings)

instructions:

1. Build the Glaze
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, add Kinder’s Bourbon Peach BBQ Sauce, honey, Dijon, apple cider vinegar, and fresh orange juice. Whisk to combine.

2. Simmer
Let the glaze gently simmer for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened and glossy.

3. Finish the Glaze
Reduce heat to low and whisk in butter until fully melted. Add lemon juice, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

Ingredients:

For the Glaze:

• ½ cup Kinder’s Bourbon Peach BBQ Sauce

• 2 tbsp honey

• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard

• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

• 2 tbsp fresh orange juice

• 1 tbsp unsalted butter

• Pinch of salt

• Fresh cracked black pepper

For the Wings:

• 2 lbs chicken wings, split

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• Salt & freshly cracked black pepper

4. Prep the Wings
Preheat oven to 425°F.
Pat wings completely dry with paper towels.
Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

5. Roast
Arrange wings on a wire rack over a sheet tray (or on a parchment-lined tray).
Roast for 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.

6. Glaze
During the last 5 minutes of cooking, brush wings generously with the peach bourbon honey glaze.
Return to oven to caramelize and set.

7. Finish
Remove from oven and brush with an additional layer of glaze for a glossy, lacquered finish before serving.

Dom’s Tips:

the orange juice adds brightness and keeps the glaze from leaning too sweet.
layering the glaze at the end — not throughout — is what gives you that clean, sticky finish without burning the sugars.
