If you love chicken wings as much as me, add these to your list: they’re sticky, tangy, glossy bits of heaven! Baked in the oven, they’re remarkably easy to rustle up, while roasted, crushed peanuts as a finishing touch take them to the next level, too.

One of the best

I absolutely love all of your recipes, but I think this is in my top 3 maybe even my top 1!

This is “mop up the sauce” worthy every single time, easy and better than ones I’ve had in restaurants.
