Directions Preheat oven to 450degrees. Place preserves, brown sugar, garlic and salt in a food processor; process until blended. Transfer to a small saucepan. Add vinegar and bourbon; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 4-6 minutes or until slightly thickened. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water until smooth; stir into preserve mixture. Return to a boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Reserve 1/2 cup sauce for serving. Using a sharp knife, cut through the two wing joints; discard wing tips. Place remaining wing pieces in a foil-lined 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Bake 30-35 minutes or until juices run clear, turning every 10 minutes and brushing with remaining sauce. Increase oven setting to broil. Broil 4-6 in. from heat 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Serve with reserved sauce. Yield: 1-1/2 dozen. Editor's Note: Uncooked chicken wing sections (wingettes) may be substituted for whole chicken wings. Originally published as Quentin’s Peach-Bourbon Wings in Taste of Home February/March 2016, p54
