Hot Honey Peach Wings Recipe
If you're like me, you love wings with just the right balance of sweet and spicy. I stumbled upon a magical combination with these hot honey peach wings, and now, they’ve become my go-to recipe for gatherings or even weeknight dinners. The peach preserves bring a fruity sweetness, while the hot sauce delivers that fiery kick.
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 cup peach preserves
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1/4 cup hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- Oil for frying, about 3–4 cups if deep frying
Instructions
- Start by seasoning the chicken wings with a mix of salt, paprika, and garlic powder. This gives the wings a flavorful base before cooking. 🧂
- Preheat your fryer (or air fryer) to 350°F. This ensures the wings are cooked evenly and achieve that golden crispiness. 🔥
- While the fryer is heating, melt butter in a saucepan. Stir in minced garlic, hot sauce, soy sauce, and peach preserves. Cook the mixture for about five minutes, allowing it to thicken into a silky glaze. 🍑
- Fry wings in small batches for 12-15 minutes until they’re golden brown and crispy. If you’re using an air fryer, cook them in one layer for about the same time. Use tongs to transfer onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. 🍗
- Toss the wings in the hot honey peach glaze until they’re well-coated. Serve them immediately with your favorite dipping sauces. Don’t forget the napkins! 🤤
Notes
- Pound for Even Cooking: If your chicken wings are uneven in size, lightly pound them to ensure consistent cooking.
- Keep the Glaze Warm: If your sauce cools and thickens too much, gently reheat it on the stove for effortless coating.
- Don't Overcrowd the Fryer: Cook the wings in small batches to maintain their crispiness. Overcrowding lowers the oil temperature.
