For the sauce
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 cup onion chopped
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced
- ¼ cup chili sauce
- 10 ounces pepper jelly
- ½ tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 dash Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Creole mustard
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon liquid smoke see instructions, you might want to start with 1/2 teaspoon and taste it first
Instructions
For the sauce
- Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the onion. Sauté for about 10 minutes or until softened and lightly browned.
- Add the garlic and chili sauce. Stir and cook another minute.
- Add remaining ingredients. I recommend using all of the liquid smoke, but you can start with half and taste to see if it's to your liking.
For the wings
- Toss wings with sauce before serving. If cooking the wings on a grill, smoker, oven or Big Easy, brush both sides of the wings with the sauce and let cook another 5 minutes to set the sauce. Click here for our guide on how to sauce your wings.
Notes
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce on the side, if desired.
