Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup peach preserves
- 0.25 cup bourbon
- 0.25 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 stalks green onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top for even cooking.
In a large bowl, pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Season the wings evenly with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Toss to coat.
Arrange the wings on the prepared wire rack in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden and crispy.
While the wings bake, prepare the peach bourbon glaze. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the peach preserves, bourbon, ketchup, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, honey, red pepper flakes, and butter.
Stir the mixture frequently and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for 5-7 minutes until the glaze thickens slightly, then remove it from heat.
Once the wings are cooked, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the peach bourbon glaze over the wings and toss until they are evenly coated.
Optional: For extra caramelization, return the glazed wings to the oven and broil on high for 2-3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
Transfer the wings to a serving platter and garnish with sliced green onions, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
