Instructions

PREPARE THE WINGS:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper and then add a wire rack atop. NOTE: Doing this step is a MUST to prevent sticking and ensures that the wings crisp up evenly. OPTION 2: Prepare a 12-inch oven-safe iron cast skillet and grease with butter.
  • Rinse your chicken wings and pat dry well to remove as much excess liquid as possible. Once dry, add the seasonings: salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, parsley, thyme, garlic powder, and oregano and rub everything together with your hands until wings are well coated.
  • Line each wing atop prepared wire rack on baking sheet side by side, about 1 inch apart.
  • Bake wings for about 20-25 minutes or until crisp and cooked through before adding the sauce.

TO MAKE THE PEACH SAUCE:

  • In a saucepan over medium-high heat, add the butter and let it melt. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Add in the brown sugar, peach preserves/jam, apple cider vinegar, chicken stock, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes---whisking until everything is combined and the sauce becomes smooth. Reduce heat to low and allow the sauce to simmer for 1-2 minutes until is had a "sticky" consistency.
  • Once the wings have become crispy, remove from the oven and add them to the sauce, tossing until wings are fully coated.
  • Serve wings immediately with your favorite side or salad.
  • Bon Appetit!

Notes

  • STORAGE: Store leftovers in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat in oven when ready to serve.
  • SWEETENER: You can always substitute honey with Agave or maple syrup instead of brown sugar, if desired.
