Ale-8-One Glazed Chicken Wings
Ingredients (Wings):
18 Chicken Wings
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt
Pepper
Ingredients (Glaze):
3/4 c. Reduced Sodium Soy Sauce
1/3 c. Ale-8-One
1/4 c. Honey
4 tbsp. Brown Sugar
2 tbsp. Lemon Juice
1 tbsp. Sesame Oil
1.25 tbsp. Corn Starch
2 tsp. Hoisin
2 tsp. Garlic Powder
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425F.
2. In a bowl, coat chicken wings with EVOO and liberally season with salt and pepper.
3. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil; place chicken wings on the baking sheet and bake for 40 minutes.
4. While the chicken wings are baking, combine soy sauce, Ale-8-One, honey, brown sugar, lemon juice, sesame oil, hoisin, and garlic powder in saucepan. Over low-medium heat, whisk until all ingredients are uniformly combined.
5. In a small bowl, mix the corn starch with equal parts water. After combined, add to the saucepan and whisk. This will serve as a thickening agent for the glaze.
6. Remove chicken wings from the oven. If there is excess oil on the aluminum foil, remove wings from previous foil and replace with a new sheet.
7. Liberally brush each wing with the Ale-8-One glaze.
8. Return wings to oven and allow to cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Ale-8 Buttery Biscuits
Ingredients:
4 c. baking mix (i.e. Bisquick)
1 c. Ale-8-One
1 c. sour cream
1 stick of butter
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 425F.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the baking mix, Ale-8-One, and sour cream. Mix well (I use a rubber spatula/my hands) until fully combined. I wouldn’t recommend using an electric mixer, as you do not want to over mix. Also, just for your information, this is a sticky dough.
- Using either your counter or a large cutting board, sprinkle the surface with flour/baking mix and use your hands to knead the dough. Roll it out to roughly half an inch thick.
- Place a stick of butter in a glass baking dish and place in the oven. Do NOT let it burn; however, do let it fully melt, leaving the bottom of the pan covered in layer of butter.
- Cut out your biscuits and place them in the butter-filled pan.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown. Keep an active watch on the biscuits!
- Let the biscuits sit in the pan for 5-8 minutes, as they will absorb the butter.
- Enjoy!
