The Super Bowl is right around the corner, so this week we’ll be highlighting food and drink recipes to make your Super Bowl party a hit. Today, let’s take a look at these recipes from Maker’s Mark Bourbon.
Bourbon Apple Glazed Chicken Wings
These tangy sweet wings get the benefit of being braised then baked, no frying involved!
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 1 hour
Level: Easy
Serves 4
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs chicken wings, trimmed
- 1 cup Maker’s Mark® Bourbon
- 1 can frozen apple juice concentrate, thawed (12 ounces)
- ½ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup cider vinegar
- ¼ cup dark brown sugar
- 4 large cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
Directions:
- Combine all of the ingredients in a medium pot. Bring to boil on high heat and then reduce to a simmer for 30-40 minutes until the wings are tender and the glaze has reduced, coating the wings.
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Remove the wings from the pot and transfer to a parchment lined sheet tray. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the wings begin to color and the glaze becomes shiny. Garnish with minced scallions and apple. Serve immediately.
Bourbon Onion Dip
Greek yogurt and ricotta cheese lighten up this usually mayonnaise heavy party favorite.
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 1 hour
Level: Easy
Serves 6-10
Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 large sweet onions/Vidalias, peeled, halved, sliced thinly with the grain
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ cup Maker’s Mark® Bourbon, plus 1 tablespoon
- ¾ cup Greek yogurt
- ½ cup fresh ricotta cheese
- ½ cup sour cream
- Few drops lemon juice
- Pinch sugar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Crudité vegetables and chips for dipping
Directions:
- In a wide heavy-bottomed pot, heat the olive oil over high heat. Add the sliced onions and the teaspoon of salt. Sauté the onions, stirring often until they begin to soften, 5 to 6 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and continue to stir and cook the onions until they begin to color, about another 15 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of bourbon to the pan and stir in. Reduce the heat to low and cook the onions for another 30 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions have colored and caramelized. Remove the onions from the pan and spread on a plate or baking sheet to cool in the fridge.
- Using a food processor or blender, combine the ricotta and yogurt and process until smooth. Transfer the mixture to a bowl. Fold in the sour cream. Once the onions have cooled, rough chop them briefly. Fold into the mixture and season to taste with lemon juice, sugar, salt and pepper. Serve the dip cold with crudité and chips.
