Yield Makes 20 to 24 wings

Number Of Ingredients 19

For the chicken wings
4 garlic cloves
2 shallots
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon Chinese five-spice powder (available at Asian markets and most supermarkets)
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon crumbled dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon cayenne, or to taste
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 pounds chicken wings (about 20 to 24), the tips cut off and reserved for another use
For the sauce
1/3 cup natural-style peanut butter
1/4 cup well-stirred canned cream of coconut
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
1/8 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes, or to taste
1 teaspoon soy sauce
coriander sprigs for garnish if desired

Steps:

  • Prepare the chicken wings:
  • Mince and mash the garlic and the shallots to a paste with the salt and in a large bowl stir the paste together well with the five-spice powder, the paprika, the rosemary, the cayenne, and the oil. Add the chicken wings, stirring to coat them well with the marinade, and let them marinate, covered and chilled, for 4 hours or overnight. Arrange the wings, skin sides up, on the rack of a foil-lined large broiler pan and bake them in the upper third of a preheated 425°F. oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until they are golden brown. The wings may be prepared 1 day in advance, kept covered and chilled, and reheated.
  • Make the sauce:
  • In a blender blend together the peanut butter, the cream of coconut, the garlic, the water, the bell pepper, the red pepper flakes, and the soy sauce until the mixture is smooth and season the sauce with salt.
  • Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl set on a platter, arrange the wings around the bowl, and garnish the platter with the coriander.

I would not recommend this recipe. The chicken wings were tough and the sauce was bland.

The chicken wings were a little too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but these chicken wings were surprisingly mild. They were also very juicy.

These chicken wings were easy to make and turned out great. I would recommend using a good quality African spice blend.

These chicken wings were a hit at my party! They were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, with just the right amount of spice. I'll definitely be making them again.
