"Yummy chicken wings that are so easy to fix on the stove top or in an electric skillet." — Shannon Koller

Directions

In an electric skillet or a large skillet over medium heat, mix together the water, sugar, soy sauce, peanut butter, honey, wine vinegar, and garlic until smooth and the sugar has dissolved. Place the wings into the sauce, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes. Uncover and simmer until the wings are tender and the sauce has thickened, about 30 more minutes, spooning sauce over wings occasionally. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

The only reason I am only rating this at 4 stars and not 5 stars is because the sauce is SUPPER SWEET. I am going to play around with the amount of sugar & honey, but the overall flavor is great. I ended up using chicken breats (rather than wings). I cut each chicken breasts into 4 pieces and cooked the chicken in the sauce for about 15 minutes. Took the chicken out of the sauce (covered to keep warm) and then cranked up the heat, for about another 10-15 minutes, to thicken the sauce (be sure to stir more frequently as the sauce gets thinker).

I followed the directions exactly, and though the flavor of the sauce was good, it did not thicken. Also my chicken was on the tough side.

Yummy and sticky. Excellent taste and I kept gong back for more along with everyone else. I made the recipe exactly as written. I did start with frozen chicken wings so I simmered them with the cover on about 50 minutes and without the cover about 40 minutes. I will definitely use this recipe over and over again.

Super good! Thank you, Shannon. No peanut butter in this house, tahini made a great substitute. Cut sugar by 1/3 - 1/2. Thickened sauce with a bit of cornstarch and baked @ 375, 40 minutes covered, 20 minutes uncovered. Nothing left. YUM!!!

Very tasty. The family truly enjoyed these wings. The only thing we were missing is a little crispiness. I think next time I will prepare in the broiler or something. This is a keeper. Thanks so much for sharing.

If I could give this more stars I would - thank you Shannon!! This was absolutely fantastic!!! No changes needed. This recipe is so much easier than a similar chinese one I have, but it doesn't take over 2 hours to bake and turn and I LOVE that I don't have to take the time to marinate!!! We all loved it and I'm making it another time this week - but tonight I'll used boneless thighs. I hope others discover and use this recipe!

I made this recipe today and it came out amazing. I used drumsticks instead of wings, and chunky peanut butter, which worked since the peanuts added the extra crunch. I also used splenda instead of sugar. I simmered them covered for 30 minutes, then finished them in the oven for another 30 minutes so they got that golden brown carmelized feel. Great Recipe.

This is a great go-to dish; Ingredients I usually have on hand, nothing too exotic. I just dumped everything in the pan, checked on it occassionally & it turned out great. Next time I will half the sugar, add more garlic and maybe some scallions. Thanks, Shannon!
