    • About This Recipe

    “These spicy Chinese-inspired wings came from a cookbook called, “Blue Corn and Chocolate”. The flavor is best when the wings are slightly warm or at room temperature. I also use this sauce to make a great main dish using chicken breasts!Chef note:Try lining pan with parchment paper. It is great for cakes and cookies, but fabulous for oven fries and chicken wings etc. Nothing sticks to it and makes cleanup so much easier.””

  • 2lbschicken wings
  • salt and pepper
  • 2tablespoonspeanut butter

  • 1 1/2 tablespoonshoney

  • fresh cilantro, chopped

    • Directions

  • Chop tips off the chicken wings; discard.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Line a baking pan with foil (this will save clean-up later).
  • Place the chicken wings in a single layer on the tray; salt and pepper them lightly.
  • Bake the wings for about 30 minutes until they are just beginning to brown and get crisp.
  • While the wings are baking, combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, garlic, and the hot peppers in a small saucepan.
  • Heat the mixture over low heat, stirring until well blended and spreadable.
  • Spoon or brush the peanut sauce generously over the wings.
  • Return the wings to the oven for 10- 15 minutes until the sauce is set.
  • (Do not allow the sauce to burn.) Remove the wings from the oven and sprinkle immediately with the chopped peanuts and cilantro.
  • Let cool slightly before serving.

  • “Had these for dinner tonight, and they were delicious! Easy to prepare, too. I left out both the garnishes as it was only DS and I for dinner tonight, and I knew he wouldn’t eat either one. Next time I think I will add more “heat”, as I would have liked them to have a little more of a kick (just a personal preference). The peanut butter flavour is subtle, and adds a nice touch. My one word of advice: make sure you do line the pan with foil. I forgot, and I regretted it at clean-up time! Thanks for posting!”

  • “This recipe was great! I used it twice already. First I made it with the chicken wings and my family absotulety loved it that they asked me to make some more. So I did and tried it on chicken legs since I already had some in the fridge and still came out really good. Thanks.”

  • “These wings gave the peanut taste we were so wanting, the only change I would make is double the sauce (I spooned it over the wings when cooking) just to have to spoon over the rice which I served with it and the steamed vegetables.Thank you Sharlene-W made for All You Can Cook Buffet Tag game.”

  • “good flavor but the sauce is just a little too thick, think next time ill use less peanut butter”

  • “Good But if I make them again I will use less peanut butter.I doubled the recipe.”

  • “Deeelicious and soo easy.I didn’t salt or pepper the wings … I heard somewhere that adding salt to meat while it is being cooked may make the meat less moist.I am not sure how reliable my source is but it has worked for me thus far.The sauce is really good.I followed the recipe then added more soy sauce, honey, chili flakes … all to taste.I wanted my sauce to be a little more runny and more sweet with a bit more heat.I will definitely make this dish again.Thank you sooo much for such a wonderful recipe.”

  • “Yum!!!I love peanut sauce on chicken, it’s one of my favorite combos.I made these for an easy dinner one night– good wings and a movie is a Friday standby for us.Thanks for the great treat!”

  • “The sauce was great, just wish I made more.Only change I made was replaced the soy sauce with worcestershire sauce.made this for the neighbor and I for the football game tonight.The peanut taste was outstanding and flavorful.Made for I Recommend tag.”
