Prep Time: 15 minutes - Cook Time: 40 minutes - Total Time: 55 minutes - Yield: Makes About 3 to 4 Dozen Pieces
3/4 cup peanut butter
1/3 cup light or dark brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup water
3 Tbs rice vinegar
2 Tbs low sodium soy sauce
4 tsp spicy chili paste, such as sambal
1 tsp sesame oil
1/2 tsp finely minced garlic
3 lbs chicken wings
3 Tbs vegetable oil
•
3 Tbs hot sauce, such as Frank's or Texas Pete
chopped peanuts, optional
1. Cut wing tips off and discard. Cut the wings at the joint.
2. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the peanut butter, brown sugar, water, rice vinegar, soy sauce, chili paste, sesame oil, and garlic. Bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
3. Heat the oven to 400° F. Line a large rimmed baking pan with foil.
4. In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with the vegetable oil and hot sauce.
5. Arrange the wings on the prepared baking sheet.
6. Bake the wings for 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven. With tongs, turn all of the wings over. Return the pan to the oven and continue baking for 15 to 20 minutes longer, until nicely browned and cooked through. Juices should be clear, not pink, when the wings are thoroughly cooked.
7. Transfer the cooked wings to a large bowl and add about half of the peanut butter sauce. Toss the wings to coat with the sauce. Thin the remaining sauce, if necessary, and serve with the wings for dipping. Garnish the sauce and chicken with chopped peanuts, if desired.
8. Makes about 3 to 4 dozen pieces, depending on the size of the wings.
