MAPLE BOURBON GLAZE

Steps:

• Using a small saucepan and high heat melt the butter and stir in the bourbon and maple syrup.
• Stir the glaze while it comes to boil. Once it comes to a boil, lower the heat to medium-high and let the glaze reduce for 10 minutes or until it starts to thicken.
• Using a silicon brush, apply the glaze to the outside of whatever you're glazing. Let the glaze set for 10 to 15 minutes between each coat.

EMERIL'S KICKED-UP CHICKEN WINGS WITH SPICED APPLE & BOURBON GLAZE

Steps:

• In a large shallow, non-reactive bowl combine the chicken, hot sauce, pepper, and salt, and toss well to combine. Cover the chicken with plastic wrap, refrigerate, and let marinate, for at least 1 hour, and up to 3 hours.
• In a heavy pot, heat the oil to 360 degrees F.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and 2 tablespoons Essence. Remove the chicken from the marinade and add to the flour 1 at a time, tossing to coat evenly.
• Add the chicken in 2 batches to the hot oil and cook, turning occasionally, until brown on all sides and cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove the chicken wings from the fryer with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
• Sprinkle with the remaining Essence and serve immediately with the Spiced Apple & Bourbon Glaze.

EMERIL'S APPLE & BOURBON GLAZE

Steps:

• To make the glaze, place all of the ingredients for the glaze except for the Bourbon in a 6-quart pot and cook over medium-high heat. Bring the contents of the pot to a boil, stirring often to dissolve the sugar. Once the mixture has come to a boil, reduce the heat to medium, and allow the mixture to reduce to a glaze consistency, about 30 to 35 minutes longer. Remove the glaze from the stove and strain through a fine-mesh strainer. Stir in the Bourbon, a tablespoon at a time to get the desired flavor and consistency. Reserve until ready to use.

SWEET BOURBON BABY BACKS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
• Cut the baby back ribs into smaller even sized portions and place them into a shallow baking dish meat side up. Cover the ribs with the bourbon, reserving about 1/4 cup for the sauce, and then add the apple juice. Rub the meat side with the salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, grill seasoning, and the garlic. Place the ribs into the oven for 3 to 3 1/2 hours.
• Preheat the grill.
• Remove the ribs from the oven and hold for grilling. Mix 1/4 cup of the bourbon with the BBQ sauce and then coat the ribs with the mixture. Place the ribs on the grill and cook for about 15 minutes. Remove from the grill and arrange on a platter. Serve with grilled corn alongside, if desired.
