These Thai-inspired chicken wings are coated in a savory peanut sauce and baked to perfection, offering a delightful balance of flavors.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and crispy wings.
Line a baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup.
Foil makes cleaning up a breeze after baking.
Arrange the chicken wings in a single layer on the baking sheet and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Ensure the wings are not overlapping for even cooking.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Flipping ensures both sides are evenly cooked.
In a saucepan, combine peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. Heat over low heat, stirring until smooth.
Stir constantly to prevent the sauce from sticking or burning.
Brush the baked wings generously with the peanut sauce.
Use a brush for an even coating of sauce.
Return the wings to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
Keep an eye on the wings to avoid burning the sauce.
Remove the wings from the oven and sprinkle with chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
