# What You'll Need:
→ Chicken
01 - 2.5 lbs chicken wings, split at joints, tips removed
02 - 1 teaspoon salt
03 - 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
04 - 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
→ Guava BBQ Glaze
05 - 0.5 cup guava paste or guava jelly
06 - 0.5 cup BBQ sauce, gluten-free if needed
07 - 2 tablespoons honey
08 - 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
09 - 1 tablespoon soy sauce, gluten-free if needed
10 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
11 - 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
12 - 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional for heat
# Cooking Steps:
01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and position a wire rack on top.
02 - Pat wings dry with paper towels. Toss in a large bowl with salt, black pepper, and vegetable oil until evenly coated.
03 - Arrange wings in a single layer on the rack. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crisp.
04 - Combine guava paste, BBQ sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, whisking until guava melts and glaze is smooth, approximately 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
05 - Transfer roasted wings to a large bowl. Pour half the glaze over wings and toss until evenly coated.
06 - Return glazed wings to the rack and broil for 2 to 3 minutes until caramelized.
07 - Toss wings with remaining glaze before serving. Serve hot, garnished with chopped cilantro or green onions if desired.
