Fireball Chicken Recipes

FIREBALL WHISKEY CANDIED BACON

Steps:

• Cut the thick cut bacon into thirds and place in a bowl.
• Add the brown sugar, Fireball, cinnamon, and ground red pepper (if using). Toss until evenly coated.
• Place the bacon pieces on a wire baking rack over a lined baking sheet. Place in a 350 degree oven for 30-40 minutes. Cook time will depend on how thick the bacon is cut.
• Carefully transfer to a plate while still warm (to prevent sticking) and let cool. The bacon will harden as it comes to room temp.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475 degrees F.

• Transfer chicken to baking sheet. Place in oven and cook 13 minutes. Flip chicken and continue cooking until skin crisps and meat is cooked through (about 5 minutes longer).
• Transfer to a plate and let rest 5 minutes before serving.
• While chicken is baking, in a separate pan, mix BBQ sauce and 1/8 cup Fireball Whisky on low heat until sauce is well mixed and warm. Use this as a dipping sauce or coat chicken with sauce.
