Peach Habanero Southern BBQ Wings

Ingredients

• 3 lbs Chicken wings (flats and drumettes)
• 1 cup Peach preserves
• 2 whole Habanero peppers, seeded and minced
• 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a wire rack.

2. 2

   Pat the chicken wings completely dry with paper towels to ensure maximum crispiness.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, toss the wings with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and cornstarch until evenly coated.

4. 4

   Arrange the wings in a single layer on the baking sheet and bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

5. 5

   While the wings bake, combine peach preserves, minced habaneros, apple cider vinegar, and soy sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat.

6. 6

   Simmer the sauce for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the preserves have melted and the sauce has thickened slightly.

7. 7

   Remove the crispy wings from the oven and transfer them to a clean large bowl.

8. 8

   Pour the warm peach habanero glaze over the wings and toss thoroughly until every wing is sticky and well-coated.
