Peanut Butter & Jelly Chicken Wings

Categories RecipesLeave a Comment on Peanut Butter & Jelly Chicken Wings

I’m hesistant about peanut sauces. They tend to be too sweet for me, and I am not a sweet meats girl. However, when we were in Savannah, these PB&J chicken wings were highly recommended, and I quickly became obsessed. I had to find a way to make them at home, and luckily, I found a recipe from Pekin the Chef that was spot on. Though it seems complicated, I promise they are easy. The peanut sauce is not overly sweet; it has almost an umami flavor. You pair the chicken wings with this slightly spicy peach jam. It’s never too late to switch it up and try out some new flavors. I air-fried the chicken wings; you are welcome to fry them up, bake them, or do whatever you like.

Ingredients

Chicken Wings

  • 2lbs Chicken Wings
  • 1 TSP Salt
  • 1/2 TSP Black Pepper

Pecan Peanut Butter Sauce

  • 1/4 Cup Pecans, toasted & finely chopped
  • 2 TBSP Butter
  • 1/2 Cup Peanut Butter
  • 2 TBSP Soy Sauce
  • 1 TBSP Honey
  • 1 TBSP Rice Vinegar
  • 1 TSP Garlic, minced
  • 1 TSP Ginger, freshly grated
  • 2 TBSP Water

Peach Jam Dipping Sauce

  • 1/2 Cup Peach Jam
  • 1 TBSP Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1/4 TSP Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1 TBSP Water

Let’s Get Cooking

Rinse the chicken wings and pat them dry. Season with salt & pepper and let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes.

Preheat the air-fryer to 400F. Airfry the chicken wings in batches for 25 minutes, flipping them halfway through. Once all cooked, place to the side.

Make the Pecan Peanut Butter Sauce.

In a small saucepan, toast the pecans over medium heat until fragrant. Set aside.

In a small saucepan, melt the 2 TBSP butter over medium heat. Add in the 1/2 cup of peanut butter, and stir until it begins to melt.

Stir in the toasted pecans. Add in 2 TBSP soy sauce + 1 TSBP honey. Stir well, then reduce the heat to low to keep warm.

Make the Peach Jam Dipping Sauce.

Warm up 1/2 cup of peach jam either in a microwave-safe bowl or on the stove top.

Stir in 1 TBSP Apple Cider Vinegar + 1/4 TSP Chili Flakes. If the jam is still too thick, add water.

In a large mixing bowl, add in the cooked chicken wings and warmed pecan peanut butter sauce, and coat evenly. Serve with the peach dipping sauce and enjoy.

Peanut-Butter Date Bites

Categories Recipes3 Comments on Peanut-Butter Date Bites

I am never never NEVER one to support recipe trends where people say, “WOW THESE ZUCCHINI CHIPS TASTE JUST LIKE POTATO CHIPS”. No, they don’t, and they never will. Stop lying to yourself and just eat a potato chip. But anyways, I have seen around the inter-webs people creating mini-desserts with dates, so I decided to make my own little creation. I am not going to agree with those people that these dates taste just like Snickers, because they don’t, but they are damn good. They are the perfect bite for when you want a little something sweet after dinner.

Ingredients

  • Peanut Butter
  • Dates, pitted and split on the side
  • 1/2 Cup Chocolate chips
  • 1/3 Cup Half & Half, or Milk, use what you have and use more if needed
  • Chopped Almonds or Walnuts
  • Flaky Sea Salt

Let’s Get Cooking

If your dates aren’t pitted, be sure to do that now. Prep a baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper. Cut a slit on one side of all the dates.

Using a spoon, place a small amount of peanut butter into the date, making sure it is enough that the date can still slightly close.
Once all the dates are stuffed, melt the chocolate + half and half in a microwave-safe bowl at 30-second increments until combined. Coat the stuffed dates into the chocolate, it’s going to be messy, but it’s okay.

Place onto the parchment paper, and top with the chopped walnuts/almonds and sea salt.

Place in the freezer for 12 hours.

ENJOY! It’s hard to eat just one
