Peanut Satay Chicken Wings
I have a love affair with satay!
How good are those flavours?? We quite often have satay stir fries or noodles for dinner.
I was inspired by a recipe at Taste and decided to try my hand at making a peanut sauce marinade on some chicken wings for a budget and kid friendly dinner.
If you can’t have peanuts, use any other nut butter you have – cashew would be perfect!
Peanut Satay Chicken Wings
Vital Stats: gluten free, dairy free, egg free, grain free
Serves 4
Okay this is what you need:
8 large organic chicken wings
1/3 cup organic peanut butter
1/3 cup organic coconut cream
2 tablespoons organic tamari
1 lime juiced (about 2 tablespoons)
2 teaspoons fresh turmeric, grated
2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
2 -3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon coconut sugar
HOT TIP: Use coconut cream in a can that has a BPA free lining like this one.
Okay so this is what you do:
Mix all ingredients except the chicken wings.
Add the chicken wings to the mixture and marinate overnight or for a few hours.
Preheat the oven to 200°celsius.
Place the wings on a rack on top of a tray and cook for 30-40 minutes or until brown and cooked through.
The marinade will form a crispy crust on the wings. Droooool!
You can also cook the wings in all the marinade in an oven proof dish if you like.
Serve the peanut satay chicken wings with some coconut rice and an asian salad or stir-fried vegetables.
HOT TIP: When marinating chicken pieces, I always slash the skin in a few places with a sharp knife so the yummy flavours penetrate through to the meat.
If your kids are little, they might like smaller pieces, so cut the chicken wings into three pieces, discarding the wing tip (use it for broth). These smaller serves also work well as for nibbles for a party or bbq.
They are also delicious cold so make extra for the lunch boxes.
What do you think? Will you give them a go?
What is your best budget meal for the family?
Yuuuum!!!! I LOVE satay and I bought some chicken wings at the Farmers Market the other day….. off to buy some peanut butter so I can make these.
Let me know what you think Jacinta xx
Cooked this last night. Coming back to tell you it was deeeelish!!! Luckily I doubled it for leftovers today!
I didn’t read the recipe beforehand to see the marinade part to I put it all in and covered it and cooked for an extra 15 mins (siphoned some sauce off to pour over the rice) then took the cover off and let it crisp up for a further 20 or so mins!!
Yum!
Ahhh that’s a great way to cook it as well!! Thanks for the heads up Mich xxxx
