Cut the tips off the chicken wings; reserve for stock.
In a small bowl, stir together garlic, dry mustard, paprika, dried thyme, sugar, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
Blend in lemon juice to make a paste.
Using a pastry brush, brush the paste over the wings.
Arrange the wings, meaty side down, on lightly greased foil-lined baking sheets.
Let them stand for 30 minutes at room temperature.
Bake in a preheated 475°F oven for 15 minutes; then, turn the wings over and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes or until brown, crisp, and no longer pink inside.
Peach Mustard Sauce:
In a saucepan, melt the peach jam over low heat.
Stir in Dijon mustard, diced pimiento, and cider vinegar.
Serve the Peach Mustard Sauce separately for dipping.
