Creating Hot Honey Peach Wings is simple as long as you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken Wings: Rinse and pat dry the chicken wings. Place them in a large bowl and season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

2. Marinate (Optional): For deeper flavor, allow the wings to marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

3. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.

4. Arrange the Wings: Lay the seasoned wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching.

5. Bake the Wings: Bake the chicken wings in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until they’re golden brown and crisp, flipping halfway through.

6. Prepare the Hot Honey Peach Sauce: While your wings are baking, make the hot honey peach sauce. In a small saucepan, combine peach preserves, honey, apple cider vinegar, and soy sauce over medium heat. Stir until the mixture is well combined and slightly thickened, about 5-7 minutes.

7. Glaze the Wings: Once done, remove the wings from the oven and place them in a large mixing bowl. Pour the hot honey peach sauce over the wings, tossing to coat thoroughly.

8. Return to Oven for Glaze: Return the glazed wings to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes to caramelize the sauce.

9. Garnish: Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh peach slices and chopped parsley or cilantro for an added burst of color and flavor.

10. Serve: Serve your hot honey peach wings immediately for the best flavor and texture!
