Ingredients

2 pounds chicken wings
2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon browning sauce, optional

Cut chicken wings into three sections; discard wing tip sections. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the peanut butter, lemon juice, oil, soy sauce, salt, chili powder, browning sauce if desired and garlic powder. Add wings; seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate overnight.
Drain and discard marinade. Transfer wings to a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 35-40 minutes or until chicken juices run clear, turning every 10 minutes.

Editor's Note
