Today, I'm thrilled to share with you my Peach Bourbon Wings recipe, a dish that promises to elevate your barbecue or dinner party to unforgettable heights. Perfectly crispy wings are tossed in a homemade peach bourbon glaze that's both sticky and sweet, with just enough kick to tickle your taste buds.

Ingredients

• 2 lbs Chicken Wings (or Wingettes)
• 1 c Peach Preserves
• 2 tbsp Dark Brown Sugar
• 1 Minced Garlic Clove
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp Canola Oil
• 2 tbsp Gentleman Jack Daniels
• 1 tbsp Corn Starch
• 2 tbsp Water

Instructions

1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Before we get cooking, preheat your air fryer to 400°F (204°C). This ensures it's ready to go when you are.
2. Prepare the Peach Sauce: In a small skillet, combine peach preserves, brown sugar, minced garlic, a pinch of salt, a splash of canola oil, and a generous pour of Gentleman Jack Daniels. Let it simmer on low heat, stirring frequently.
3. Create the Cornstarch Slurry: While the sauce simmers, mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl until smooth. This will help thicken up the sauce later on.
4. Coat the Wings: Give your air fryer basket a quick spritz with nonstick oil. Dip each wing into the peach sauce mixture, making sure they're fully coated.
5. Air Fry the Wings: Place the saucy wings in the preheated air fryer and cook at 400°F (204°C) for 8 minutes. After 8 minutes, give the wings another coat of sauce or brush on extra flavor.
6. Continue Cooking: Cook for another 8 minutes or until the internal temperature of the wings reaches around 185°F (85°C).
7. Let Them Rest: Once cooked, allow the wings to rest for 4-5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring maximum flavor and juiciness.
8. Prepare Dipping Sauce:n While the wings rest, whip up your dipping sauce of choice. Chunky blue cheese pairs perfectly with these wings!

Notes

Simmering Sauce Tip:

When simmering the sauce, it's important to remember that sugar can burn easily. Take your time with this step and keep the heat low to prevent burning. Rushing through it could result in a bitter taste.

Wing Preference:

Personally, I prefer using wingettes for this recipe because they tend to be of better quality and offer a nice balance of meat and skin. However, feel free to use whichever type of chicken wings you prefer or have on hand.
