INGREDIENTS

WINGS
  • 4 lbs chicken wings, patted dry
  • sweet and smoky chicken rub (or your favorite store-bought rub)
  • 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • hickory wood pellets

BOURBON BBQ SAUCE
  • 1/2 medium sweet yellow onion , finely minced
  • 5 cloves garlic , finely minced
  • 1/2 cup bourbon (use a good quality)
  • 1/4 cup tomato paste
  • 2 cups ketchup
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 Tbsp liquid smoke
  • 1/2 Tbsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • a few dashes of hot sauce (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

BOURBON BBQ SAUCE
  1. Add a drizzle of olive oil to a saucepan over MED heat.  Add onion and garlic and cook about 5 minutes.  Add in bourbon and continue cooking about 3 minutes.
  2. Add tomato paste and whisk to break it up.  Add all remaining sauce ingredients and whisk to combine.  Increase heat to MED-HIGH and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat to MED-LOW or LOW and simmer for about 15-20 minutes.
  3. Pour sauce through a fine mesh sieve to strain out onion and garlic pieces if you like a smooth, glossy sauce.  Set aside and cool.  Store leftover bbq sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks.

SMOKE CHICKEN WINGS
  1. Pat chicken wings dry with a clean paper towel.  Add wings to a large mixing bowl and toss with vegetable oil.  Add rub and massage into the wings, making sure each wing is coated. 
  2. Add hickory wood pellets to hopper.  Turn on smoker, open lid and set to the SMOKE setting.  Heat on SMOKE, with the lid open, for 5-10 minutes, until very smoky.  Add chicken wings to oiled grill grates, set smoker to 250 F degrees.  Close smoker lid and smoke for 2 hours 30 minutes, or until chicken wings reach an internal temperature of 165 F degrees.  Use an instant read meat thermometer to insure accurate cooking temperatures.
  3. Change smoker setting to HIGH and baste chicken wings on both sides with bourbon bbq sauce.  Cook wings for 5 minutes, then flip them over and cook 3-5 minutes on the other side.
  4. Select SHUT DOWN on smoker and remove chicken wings to a foil or parchment lined plate or baking sheet.  Let rest 5-10 minutes.  Turn smoker off and unplug it. 
  5. Eat wings as is, or brushed with additional bbq sauce.  Dip in blue cheese or ranch dressing and serve with celery and carrots for a traditional experience.

Vegan Peanut Butter Cookies

Ingredients 1/2 cup peanut butter, or allergy-friendly sub 3/4 tsp baking soda 3 tbsp flour (spelt, white, oat, sorghum, rice all work) 1/3 cup sugar, unrefined if desired 2 tbsp applesauce 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract 1/8 tsp salt Instructions Combine dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. If your peanut butter is not stir-able, gently warm to soften. Add all remaining ingredients to the mixing bowl and stir to form a dough. Roll into cookie balls. If you want soft cookies, refrigerate the dough at least an hour. (You can also freeze cookie dough balls to bake at another time if you wish.) Bake in a preheated oven (350F) for 8 minutes. The cookies will look quite underdone when you take them out. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before removing from tray, as they firm up while cooling. This article and recipe adapted from this site
