Place wings in oven preheated to 425, for 35-45 minutes (until crispy)
Wing Sauce
3 Tablespoons Butter
1 shallot finely chopped
1/4 cup good apple juice ( bourbon or red wine can be used depending on preference`s)
3 Tablespoons honey
1/3 cup Franks hot sauce
Melt Butter in pan over a low heat, add finely chopped shallot and let it cook for 10min until shallot is translucent.
Slowly add next three ingredients in order listed, allowing 1-2 minutes between each one. Whisk vigorously throughout.
