Sweet & Spicy Peanut Butter Chicken Wings Recipe

Hey guys I'm Alejandra and I'm Caroline and today we're making Sweet and Spicy Peanut Butter Wings. So when i comes to football I'm just in it for the food. This is one of my favorite things. These are wing we're going to toss in a sweet and spicy sauce with peanut butter. It's going to be so so awesome. So the trick with these wings is that we're actually going to make them in the oven. No deep frying necessary. They're still going to get super super crispy. That's cool. So what was the thinking between the oven versus the frying. Ease. Basically. I'm down with that. It's just so much easier. Now the way that you get them crispy in the oven is you use some paper towel and you really got to pat these super super dry. Get all that moisture off the chicken. You could help out if you'd like. Yea. Get all that extra liquid off. So it takes a little bit of time but its worth it because that's going to give you that really crispy skin. You don't have to worry about the mess of frying. This is good too because you can make a really huge batch all at once which means you can serve a crowd. That's great. Alright perfect. And I have a little bit of salt and pepper here and I'm going to season that generously if you want to add a little bit of olive oil. Just going to give it a nice little flavor base. It'll get crispy and flavorful. I'm just going to use a spoon or spatula to toss these together. Get them all coated with the oil and the seasonings. So basically just a simple roasting method? Yep. Now I'm going to use a pair of tongs just to arrange them on the baking sheet so what I did was I have two baking sheets and I covered them with some racks. And that's going to help drain that fat and keep the skin nice and crispy. So we're not steaming the meat here. Exactly. And when you do this you want to make sure you don't crowd the pan so that's why I'm using two sheets instead of one. Just want to make sure there's plenty of room all around that chicken so that heat air can circulate and get that skin really really nice and crispy. How I'm doing here? You're doing a very good job. Thank you. We're just going to take a little hand wash break and pop these in the oven and we'll come back with some nice crispy chicken. We just got the chicken out of the oven. It is hot and crispy. I mean how amazing does this look? Looks amazing. Smells like roast chicken. You guys would love it. Yes. So we're just going to let this cool a little bit while we work on our delicious sticky peanut butter sauce. So this is super easy. We're going to start off with a little bit of butter. About half a stick and some honey. This is a sweet and spicy sauce. All in there. I love the honey. It's a great way of sort of turning this peanut butter into kind of a buffalo wing. Oh yea. Totally. It's going to be really awesome. And we're also going to need a little bit of peanut butter. We're using The Heat Is On which is really spicy and savory. Perfect for this sweet and spicy sauce. We're just going to use about a half cup for that. And then just whisk this over some low heat. Just want it all to kind of melt and come together to a nice smooth sauce. This is so easy I think you could get the guys together before the game and it'd be so easy to bring together even with a big group of friends. Yea. So there we go. See how nice and smooth that is. Really really easy. So now its just a matter of coating these chicken in the sauce. All I'm going to do is drop a few right into the pot here. Put that on low heat just so it stays nice and warm. Pop it right into the pot. That's cool you're not even using another bowl. Yea, no. It's as little bit of mess as possible. And then I just want to put them right in the pan. Getting a little sauce everywhere. It's alright. Get them right in the pan here. And I lined this with a little bit of foil because this is sticky so once it goes back in the oven you really want to protect your pan. It's going to make for much easier clean up. Yea with that honey I can imagine that it makes it so much easier without all that char on the bottom. Oh totally. Before we used two pans because we really want to keep the chicken kind of give it enough room to get crispy but for this it's just really about heating that sauce and kind of setting that glaze so you can just put it all in one pan. So these are fully cooked through now though? Yea the chicken is definitely fully cooked and the sauce is cooked so it's really just about presentation. And getting that nice crispiness. Getting it crisp again. Exactly. So now this is going to go into the oven just for about 5 minutes. It's just to let that glaze set. And we're going to be ready to eat. Alright. How sticky and delicious do these look. Just got them out of the oven. They were in there for just about 5 minutes. Look at that glaze look at that sticky and all shiny and delicious. Smells so good, like caramelized honey, with the peanut butter, nice and toasty. You guys are going to love these. I can only image having like a group of people over and digging in. Yea you should probably like double or triple this recipe because its going to go fast. I'm just piling them all up on a plate. Because you know, wings. They're supposed to be a little bit messy. Yea. Alrighty. And we can do a little bit of garnish just a little fancy touch. I just like some green onions kind of sliced up on top. There we go. Gorgeous. And now we get to try them. Looking forward to it. I'm going for a drum. Alright me to. My favorite. That's good. Really good. Mmmhmm. Almost like a satay chicken buffalo wing kind of combo, really delicious. Mhmm.
