Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a pan.

Add bourbon, maple syrup, tomato paste, hot sauce, rosemary, salt, and black pepper to the pan and mix together.

Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes.

Allow the glaze to cool to room temperature.

Pour the cooled glaze over thawed chicken wings and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Place the marinated wings on a baking sheet with a wire rack.

Bake the wings in the oven for about 20 minutes.

Flip the wings over and bake for another 20-25 minutes until done.

In a large bowl, pour the thickened glaze over the baked wings and toss to coat.
