Method
Prep and bake the wings
- Preheat the oven to 425F and line a baking sheet with a wire rack.
- Toss chicken wings with salt, pepper, and baking powder, then spread them on the rack in a single layer.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes at 425F, flipping halfway, until the skin is deeply golden and crispy.
Make the peach glaze
- Simmer peach puree, honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic, ginger, and smoked paprika in a saucepan for 10 minutes until thickened to a glaze, stirring so it stays glossy.
Glaze and serve
- Toss the hot crispy wings in the peach glaze until completely coated, using a motion that drags glaze into the ridges.
- Serve immediately, letting the surface lacquer set as it cools for a sticky, caramelized finish.
Notes
For extra crunch, keep the wings spaced on the wire rack so hot air circulates, and glaze only right before serving so they stay crisp. Store leftovers in the fridge up to 3 days; reheat on a rack in a 400F oven until hot. Freezing is not recommended because the peach glaze can lose shine and texture. For a lower-sugar option, reduce honey slightly and use a sugar-free honey alternative if desired.
