Sweet and Spicy Peanut Chicken Wings
This is a very simple recipe for Sweet and Spicy Peanut Chicken Wings.
Some days I do love to go all out make sauces from scratch…but most days I want something quick and easy.
Enjoying time with my family won today over spending time whipping up a fancy sauce.
I am pretty good at keeping a variety of store bought sauces on hand just for that reason.
So I actually had all three (yes only three) sauces in my fridge.
How to make Sweet and Spicy Peanut Chicken Wings
Equal parts of sweet Thai chili sauce and peanut sauce, plus some Sriracha get whisked together and that’s it!
You can find all three in the Asian section of your grocery store.
Any time I make wings, I either bake or smoke them.
On this day I went with smoking them.
It’s mid winter and smoked wings take me back to summer, when I pretty much grill or smoke everything 🙂
This sauce is so flavorful that I kept the wings very simple…some olive oil, kosher salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes.
These wings will smoke for two and a half hours total, flipping them halfway through.
And during the last half hour brush them a few times with the sweet and spicy peanut sauce.

Toss them in the remaining sauce, or serve it on the side for dipping.
Garnish Sweet and Spicy Peanut Chicken Wings with fresh cilantro and chopped peanuts if desired and enjoy 🙂
