Ingredients
  

Chicken wings
  • 3 lb chicken wings Split, pat dry if needed for extra crispness.
Dry seasoning
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
Peach hot honey glaze
  • 2 peaches Ripe peaches, pureed until smooth.
  • 3 tbsp hot honey
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp hot sauce
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 0.5 tsp smoked paprika

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan
  • 1 Dutch oven

Method
 

Preheat and prep to bake
  1. Preheat the oven to 425F and set a wire rack over a foil-lined baking sheet for airflow and crisping.
Season wings
  1. Toss the wings with baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper until evenly coated, then arrange them in a single layer on the rack.
Bake until deeply golden and crispy
  1. Bake for 40-45 minutes at 425F, flipping once halfway through, until deeply golden and crispy with crisp edges that look set and dry.
Make the peach hot honey glaze
  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine peach puree, hot honey, honey, hot sauce, butter, soy sauce, and smoked paprika, then simmer for 5 minutes until thickened and glossy.
Toss and finish
  1. Toss the hot wings in the glaze until fully coated so the lacquer clings and shines on the surface.
Serve
  1. Pile the wings on a platter and drizzle with extra hot honey for a final sticky, glistening finish.

Notes

For the crispiest baked wings, make sure the wings are dry before seasoning and don’t crowd the rack. Store leftovers in the refrigerator up to 3 days; reheat on a rack at 400F to help restore crispness. Freezing is not recommended because the glaze can lose its glossy texture. For a milder option, use a less spicy hot sauce or reduce the hot honey slightly while keeping the peach glaze the same.
