Peanutty Asian Chicken Wings

Chicken wings are soaked in garlic flavored teriyaki sauce, baked until firm and nicely browned and served with a peanut dipping sauce.

Recipe Ingredients:

2 1/2 pounds chicken wings*
1 cup teriyaki sauce - divided use
4 cloves garlic, minced in a garlic press
1/4 cup peanut butter
1 tablespoon rice vinegar

Cooking Directions:

1. In a 9-inch-by-13-inch baking dish, stir together 3/4 cup teriyaki sauce and 3 cloves of garlic. Add the wings and stir until evenly coated. Set aside for 10 minutes while the oven preheats to 475°F (245°C).
2. Put the remaining 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce and the remaining clove of garlic into the food processor and add the peanut butter and rice vinegar. Whirl until smooth. Pour into a small bowl.
3. Spread the wings on a sheet pan and bake them for 15 to 20 minutes, until firm and nicely browned. Serve with the peanut sauce for dipping.
4. If you prefer to broil the wings, turn them once while they cook. Under the broiler, the wings should cook in about 15 minutes.
5. If you prefer to grill the wings, place them over medium-hot coals and turn them once while they cook. On the grill, the wings should cook in about 8 to 10 minutes.

Makes 20 to 24 wings.

* If desired, separate the wings at the joint and cut off and discard the tips.
