I’m planning to make a batch for the game Saturday and I want to try a peanut butter and jelly wing recipe. I’ve seen several on line and I guess they get a Thai taste. Some questions - should I grill the wings without the sauce and then just apply the hot peanut before eating or should I bake the wings in the sauce in the oven and let them acquire a glaze? Most recipes are a version of peanut butter, jelly (what flavor is best), hot sauce (what kind and what proportions) - I’ll probably do. 3 lbs or so if wings) , garlic , grated ginger, sesame seeds, sesame oil, and topped with chopped peanuts and fresh cilantro.

Has anyone tried something like this who could give me some proportions and cooking tips? Also what’s a good accompaniment-Asian slaw maybe or a Waldorf salad? and of course a Pilsner Urquell I’ve got chilling. Thanks in advance .

I don’t know the recipe, but I’ve had them with grape jelly before. They were interesting. Not bad. They were in a crock pot but I have no clue how they were cooked.

Here ya go
 
I've had meatballs in a jelly sauce cooked in a crockpot and they are damn good. Can't imagine wings wouldn't be good, too, but the peanut butter part is a little out there.

I didn’t notice the peanut butter. Or the jelly for that matter. I think it’s more like the OP mentioned - a spicy Thai flavor. All the other ingredients work with the pbj.

My immediate reaction to the peanut butter was huh? But you're right about the peanut/Asian angle. I bet, with the correct ratio, peanut butter, jelly and chicken wings is very good, if not super messy.

Don’t know anything about PB & J or any other sauces but we bought an air fryer several months ago and it makes one of wings ever with less oil than deep frying.
 
I think it sounds good just like you planned. Skip the jelly. I'd buy natural PB, like Smuckers or from the fancy supermarkets where you grind it yourself. Another thought is some Thai chilis or Thai chili sauce or Thai red curry paste. Let us know how they turn out!

Here's how I'd do the peanut butter sauce (jelly would be blech): peanut butter, water, honey, soy sauce, cider vinegar, chili paste, sesame oil, garlic
 
Actually jelly is a little known secret ingredient for on different types of meat and in recipes. We use homemade blackberry jelly in our venison BBQ and it is hands down the best I've had. We've made it for work, family tailgates etc and always get the same response and everyone wants the recipe. Don't knock er' til you try er' ! As I always say " you don't know what you don't know "

I've used preserves in all sorts of wing sauces over the years, and didn't like many of them. I assume the op wanted both flavors on the same wing, which I wouldn't recommend because instead of having 2 good sauces to choose from, you'll wind up w/ one bad one.

I guess one option is to substitute some honey to offset the heat of the hot sauce. Years ago I remember baking some wings in an apricot sauce for about an hour at a low temperature. They were good and super sticky. But I love Thai food like Pad Thai, so I thought the introduction of peanut butter would be a plus. I suppose I could just start heating up the sauce and adjust to taste. I’m sure the secret is getting the right balance between the hot and sweet, and the chopped peanuts on top with cilantro would add to the texture as well. Just not sure if I want to grill or bake with the sauce already applied or prepare the wings first and then toss in a bowl of sauce. I’ll keep you all posted assuming I survive the experience.
