Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 4 servings

Ingredients

  1. 2 lbs chicken wings
  2. 1/2 cup peanut butter
  3. 1/4 cup soy sauce
  4. 2 tbsp honey
  5. 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  6. 1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
  2. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin. This helps remove excess moisture and promotes better browning.
  3. Arrange the chicken wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow even cooking and crispy edges.
  4. In a medium mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and minced garlic. Whisk thoroughly until the sauce is smooth and well-integrated.
  5. Season the chicken wings with salt and pepper, then place them in the preheated oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes, turning once halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  6. During the last 5-7 minutes of cooking, brush the wings generously with the prepared peanut sauce, allowing it to caramelize slightly.
  7. Check the internal temperature of the chicken wings, which should reach 165°F (74°C) to ensure they are fully cooked.
  8. Remove from the oven and let the wings rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute and the sauce to set.
  9. Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds if desired, and serve hot with extra peanut sauce on the side for dipping.

Tips

  1. Pat the chicken wings completely dry before seasoning to ensure maximum crispiness and better sauce adherence.
  2. Use a digital meat thermometer to accurately check the internal temperature of 165°F for food safety.
  3. Don't overcrowd the baking sheet - give wings enough space to ensure even cooking and crispy edges.
  4. For extra depth of flavor, let the wings marinate in the peanut sauce for 30 minutes before cooking.
  5. If you prefer a spicier version, add a teaspoon of sriracha or red pepper flakes to the sauce.
  6. For a glossier finish, broil the wings for 2-3 minutes after brushing with sauce to create a beautiful caramelization.
  7. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor experience.
