Delight in crispy baked chicken wings glazed with a sweet and spicy hot honey peach sauce. This flavorful recipe combines tender peaches, honey, and chili heat for a unique twist on classic wings, perfect for game day or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Wings:

  • 2 lbs chicken wings (drumettes and flats, patted dry)
  • 1 tbsp baking powder (for crispiness)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

For the Hot Honey Peach Glaze:

  • 1 cup diced ripe peaches (fresh or frozen, thawed)
  • ½ cup honey
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp hot sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp chili flakes or cayenne pepper (optional for extra heat)
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp olive oil or butter
  • Pinch of salt

For Garnish (Optional):

  • Fresh chopped parsley or cilantro
  • Extra peach slices
  • Lime wedges for a citrusy twist

Instructions

  1. Prep the Wings: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. Pat wings completely dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin. In a large bowl, toss wings with baking powder, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  2. Bake the Wings: Arrange wings in a single layer on the wire rack or directly on the baking sheet if not using a rack. Bake for 45–50 minutes, flipping halfway through, until wings are golden brown and crispy.
  3. Make the Hot Honey Peach Glaze: While wings bake, combine diced peaches, honey, apple cider vinegar, hot sauce, chili flakes, soy sauce, and a pinch of salt in a saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until peaches soften and sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat and blend until smooth using a blender or immersion blender. Return to low heat and stir in olive oil or butter for extra gloss and richness.
  4. Toss the Wings in Glaze: Once wings are cooked and crispy, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the hot honey peach glaze over the wings and toss well to coat all pieces evenly.
  5. Garnish & Serve: Plate the glazed wings and garnish with fresh chopped parsley or cilantro, extra peach slices for visual appeal, and serve immediately with lime wedges for a fresh, zesty finish.

Notes

  • Patting the chicken wings dry before coating with baking powder is crucial for achieving maximum crispiness.
  • You can adjust the heat level by varying the amount of hot sauce and chili flakes in the glaze.
  • Frozen peaches can be used if fresh are not available; just make sure they are fully thawed and drained before use.
  • Using a wire rack to bake helps air circulate around the wings for even cooking and crispiness.
  • For a richer glaze, you can substitute butter for olive oil or use a combination of both.
