Steps:
- Temper the ham by bringing it out of the fridge 90 minutes before cooking. (This will allow it to heat more evenly and not dry out.)
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
- Place the ham in a shallow roasting pan fitted with a rack. Using a paring knife, score the fatty side of the ham by gently slicing lines 1/2-inch apart, crisscrossing on an angle to create a diamond pattern. This will allow the glaze to soak into the ham. Add the chicken stock to the bottom of the pan, then cover the pan in foil. Cook for 40 minutes, basting every 10 to 15 minutes.
- To make the glaze, warm the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the ginger and chile flakes and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the brown sugar, honey, lime juice and Dijon mustard. Bring to a simmer, then cook until slightly reduced, about 2 minutes. Set aside the glaze in a bowl, leaving about 1/4 cup behind in the pan for finishing.
- Remove the ham from the oven and raise the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Remove the foil from the ham and discard the drippings from the pan. Brush the ham liberally with half of the glaze. Return to the oven and cook, uncovered, for 15 minutes, then brush again. Bake again until dark and caramelized, another 15 minutes. Remove the ham to a rimmed platter.
- Heat the remaining 1/4 cup glaze to a simmer over medium-low heat. If using the bourbon, remove the glaze from heat and add the bourbon. Using a lighter, flambe the alcohol in the pan and very carefully pour over the ham. (The alcohol can be omitted and you can just put the warm glaze over the ham.)

Tips:
- Use a variety of beans. This will give your chili ham cups a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include black beans, kidney beans, and pinto beans.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices. Chili powder, cumin, and garlic are all classic chili spices, but you can also try adding other spices like paprika, cayenne pepper, or chipotle powder.
- Use a good quality ham. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your chili ham cups. Look for a ham that is not too salty or processed.
- Don't overcook the ham. Ham is a delicate meat, so it's important to cook it until it is just cooked through. Overcooked ham will be tough and chewy.
- Serve your chili ham cups with your favorite toppings. Some good options include shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, and cilantro.
