Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 lbs fresh or thawed chicken wings
  • 2 ripe peaches, peeled and finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup hot honey (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, plus extra for seasoning
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Fresh herbs (thyme or basil), for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peaches and Sauce: Peel and finely chop the ripe peaches. In a small saucepan, combine the chopped peaches with hot honey, garlic powder, and a pinch of smoked paprika. Simmer gently over low heat until the mixture thickens into a luscious glaze suitable for coating the wings.
  2. Season the Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Toss them in olive oil, salt, black pepper, and a little smoked paprika to ensure a crispy and flavorful skin after baking.
  3. Cook the Wings: Arrange the wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Roast in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 35-40 minutes, turning halfway through, until the wings are golden and crisp.
  4. Toss in the Hot Honey Peach Glaze: Once cooked, transfer the wings to a large bowl. Pour the warm peach-hot honey glaze over them and toss thoroughly to coat every wing evenly.
  5. Serve and Garnish: Sprinkle fresh herbs such as thyme or basil over the wings for a pop of freshness. Serve immediately while hot and sticky for the best experience.

Notes

  • Patting the wings dry before seasoning helps achieve crispy skin.
  • Use fully ripe peaches for the sweetest and most flavorful glaze.
  • Adjust the amount of hot honey gradually to control the spice level.
  • Cooking wings on a wire rack allows air circulation for even crispiness.
  • Toss wings in warm glaze rather than hot to avoid burning the honey.
  • Make extra glaze to serve as dipping sauce or for drizzling on the side.
