Honey Bourbon Grilled Chicken

Honey Bourbon Grilled Chicken

Honey Bourbon Grilled Chicken Wings

I have a confession to make. I’m kind of obsessed with chicken wings. The saucier the better. If you’re not getting sauce on your face while you eat wings then you’re not doing it right. It’s not a first date kind of food. Best eaten among friends. Just saying. I also recommend not wearing a white shirt. It’s just a bad idea. Sauce stains and those just don’t come out.

I also prefer the legs over the wings so it’s good to pair up with someone who likes the opposite so you can scarf down all the legs (or wings) that you like. Or is that just me? I suppose I could just make all legs but then I couldn’t call them wings. Seems I’m quite particular about this aren’t I. Ha.

Honey Bourbon Grilled Chicken
Instead of baking or frying our wings we’ve gone the grill route and used Tyson® Fresh Chicken (wings and legs).  Did you know that Tyson Fresh Chicken is all natural* with no added hormones or steroids**? Yep. It arrives at your store fresh, delivered within days from leaving the farm. How’s that for fresh? Tyson has a heritage of producing chicken raised by family farmers for over 75 years.

Each piece of chicken is hand trimmed for convenience to save time and effort. That is extra bonus points in my book. Want to learn more? You can find helpful tools and resources to make meal planning easy for you and your family on their website.

Honey Bourbon Grilled Chicken
This honey bourbon BBQ sauce is dyn O mite and makes enough to feed a hungry oh say tailgating crowd because apparently it’s that time of year again, or so my friends tell me. It’s so good you’ll want to slather it on just about everything. Just don’t forget the napkins.

Baci!

    I’m trying this paleo diet out. I have no idea what I am doing yet. But I have been eating a lot of chicken lol. Is this sauce Paleo approved?

    I’m always trying to find new recipes to make chicken more exciting, and this sauce sounds absolutely amazing! Love all the flavors, and the honey and bourbon sound like the perfect touch.
