You have read correctly. These chicken wings are flavoured with peanut butter and jelly. Yep.

Your first thought might be shock and awe. How could these chicken wings taste anything but weird? I understand your hesitation. I was the same way, at first.

Last week I was in Chapters reading a cook book on chicken wings – there was an entire cook book dedicated to wings – it was amazing. I do not know why I did not buy the book. One of the recipes was for peanut butter and jelly wings.

Initially I was kinda grossed out by the thought these wings. But, a couple of days later, I thought some more about it and I remembered how much I absolutely love peanut satay on Thai chicken and beef skewers. The flavour on these wings might be similar, So, I decided to give these a go.

I played with the recipe and the amounts of peanut butter and jelly. I went online to see if there were any others who have tried this and discovered that there are plenty of recipes online. Rachel Ray actually had a recipe and recommended using natural peanut butter.

Here is the recipe. I would highly encourage you to give this one a try. It really surprised me with how unique but tasty these wings were.

Make sure that you use natural peanut butter. I used grape jelly and juice but there are many other possibilities (strawberry, raspberry, cherry, etc.).

  • I can’t wait to try this recipe, but I have to go get some grape juice I only have orange and cranberry. But that’s. Why I looked up the recipe to make sure I had all the ingredients

  • I loved the idea of the potential flavor blast that this recipe seemed to offer but I was really disappointed. First, I adjusted this recipe for an air fryer (no biggie) but the cook time is drastically off for an air fryer – I cooked mine for about 15 minutes at 370 degrees, flipping and basting about halfway through. They smelled fantastic while baking (confirmed thoroughly cooked with meat thermometer) but the taste was just “meh”…unless I bit into a tiny chunk of the PB, they were just plain wings.

  • I recently visited a place called ‘Big Red’ on Holloway Road, London, UK and whilst there saw amazing looking burgers come out with proper American ‘shiny’ buns, so of course I had to look at the menu. This place sells stuff like corn dogs and other ‘American style’ foods (something you don’t normally find here in the UK) but I have alot of dietary issues and most things were off-limits. I noticed PB&J chicken wings and was so intrigued I had to try them. They’re incredible!!! Just like chicken satay but with a sweeter kick so im DEFINATELY trying this recipe!! The other thing Big Red did to their PB&J wings was to sprinkle the bowl with chopped peanuts before serving…. I’m drooling just thinking about it!!!
