Smoked Apple Butter Chicken Wings from Hull & High Water, Louisville, KY

Smokey Apple Butter Chicken Wings, served with Peach Jam for dipping, is a delicious bar treat. From Southern Chef, Eric Morris, Hull & High Water restaurant, which specialized in fresh seafood, comes one of the best Chicken recipes you are likely to try.

Materials

  • 2 tablespoons BBQ Seasoning Powder of choice
  • 2 tablespoons Chili Powder
  • 2 tablespoons Cayenne
  • 2 tablespoons Smoked Paprika
  • 2 tablespoons Garlic Powder
  • 1 tablespoon freshly ground Black Pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon Salt
  • 12 Chicken Wings cut into wingetts and drummets (24 total pieces)
  • Apple Butter store bought or homemade, of choice, at room temperature
  • 2 cups Chicken Stock or Broth
  • 1 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1 Jalapeño diced
  • 12 ounces Peach Jam of your choice

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 250°F.
  • In a large bowl add barbecue seasoning, chili powder, cayenne, paprika garlic powder, black pepper and salt. Stir to mix.
  • Toss in a few wings. Toss or stir to coat with the mixture. Remove to a plate.
  • Repeat with remaining pieces until all are coated.
  • Smother all pieces with apple butter (use your bare hands or gloved hands - it is the easiest way)
  • Place prepared wing pieces in an oven-safe dish.
  • Pour 2 cups or 2 inches of chicken stock or broth into the dish.
  • Cover with aluminum foil or an oven-safe lid.
  • Place in preheated oven and cook for 45 minutes. Check the wings (smaller wings will cook faster) If they are not done, (the meat should be at least 165°F and fall-off-the-bone tender) place them back in the oven and check at 5 - 10 minute intervals.
  • While wings are cooking, in a small sauce pan, add apple cider vinegar, diced jalapeño and peach jam.
  • Cook, stirring, over low heat until jalapeño pieces soften and vinegar fuses with the jam. Remove from pan.
  • Place in blender. Blend until smooth and most of the jalapeño has been puréed. Pour into a large mixing bowl.
  • Place cooked wings into bowl. Mix or toss to coat completely with jam. Remove to a serving plate.
  • Pour remaining jam into a small serving bowl or cup for dipping. (Alternately, pour the sipping cup out first and the remaining sauce into the bowl. It will taste the same either way - but it look a little better since it won't have any "floaties" from tossing the wings.)
