Ingredients
  

Dry Rub & Wings
  • 2 lbs chicken wings flats and drumettes, patted dry
  • 1 tbsp baking powder aluminum-free
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp onion powder
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
Hot Honey Peach Glaze
  • 0.5 cup peach preserves
  • 0.33 cup honey
  • 2 tbsp hot sauce Frank's RedHot or similar
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp red chili flakes optional for extra heat

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Wire rack
  • Large Bowl
  • Saucepan

Method
 

  1. Pat chicken wings very dry with paper towels. This is key for crispy skin.
  2. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
  3. In a small bowl, combine baking powder, salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper.
  4. Toss wings in the spice mixture until evenly coated.
  5. Arrange wings on the wire rack in a single layer. Bake for 40-50 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden.
  6. While wings bake, combine peach preserves, honey, hot sauce, vinegar, and chili flakes in a saucepan over medium heat.
  7. Simmer sauce for 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in butter until melted and glossy.
  8. Transfer cooked wings to a large bowl, pour sauce over them, and toss to coat immediately.

Notes

For air fryer: Cook at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, shaking halfway.
