Maple Bourbon Glazed Chicken Wings
Ingredients
36 chicken wings (about 3 lbs.)
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup pure maple syrup [or pancake syrup]
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup bourbon or whiskey
1 tsp. hot pepper sauce, (optional)

2. Heat oil in medium saucepan over medium-high heat and cook onion, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes or until golden. Add syrup, ketchup, bourbon and hot pepper sauce. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes or until sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat. With wire whisk, stir in Hellmann’s® or Best Foods® Real Mayonnaise until smooth.
3. Grill or broil chicken wings, turning occasionally and brushing frequently with sauce, 15 minutes or until chicken is thoroughly cooked.

1 large red onion, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
