Moonshine Sticky Wings *Award-Winning"

Okay, so maybe this week has been all about cooking with liquor. What can we say? We are madly in love with Onyx Moonshine and since we already tried a sweet dish, we wanted to do something savory with it. Thus we give you Moonshine Sticky Wings. A dozen wings, a little honey to pick up the honey notes in the moonshine, some soy and sesame oil, and of course, the moonshine itself. Pretty good stuff, but a few notes on this one since it's not yet perfect. We baked them in the sauce then broiled them for a few minutes to attempt to get some crispiness, but next time we're gonna go ahead and fry these things. We suggest you start there. Also next time we'd add more moonshine because, well, why not?

Lay wings out in baking dish;

sprinkle with garlic salt

Combine these ingredients to make the sauce

Pour sauce over wings then bake and broil
