Peanut Butter and Jelly Wings

How to make Peanut Butter and Jelly Wings Recipe - What’s more American than peanut butter and jelly and chicken wings! The rich-tasting peanut butter causes the marinade to thicken around the wings. The jelly (any kind) adds sweetness that is nicely balanced by the sourness of orange juice, and the chile sauce adds that lingering heat. People keep coming back for more.

Serves 4 as an entrée or 6 to 12 as an appetizer

Ingredients:
24 chicken wings
½ cup peanut butter
1 cup jelly (raspberry, strawberry, blackberry)
1 cup wine vinegar
1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
2 tablespoons your favorite hot sauce
4 cloves garlic, minced

Method:
Cut of the wing tips and save them for making stock. In a bowl large enough to hold the wings, combine all the remaining ingredients. Add the wings and mix thoroughly. Marinate the wings in the refrigerator for 1 to 24 hours (the longer, the better).

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a shallow baking pan with foil. Coat a wire rack with nonstick cooking spray and place the rack in the baking pan. Drain the chicken and reserve the marinade.

Arrange the wings on the rack (smooth surface down) and roast for 30 minutes. Drain the accumulated liquid from the pan. Baste the wings with the reserved marinade, turn them over, and baste again.

Roast until the wings turn a mahogany color, about another 30 minutes. Cut the wings in half through the joint. Serve hot or at room temperature.
