Oven Fried Chicken with a Brown Sugar & Peanut Butter Glaze

Posted in Food & Recipes by sewloveable

Hello World……..

I have not blogged in days…….and I have missed it. I have been busy moving and because of the move the family and I have been eating out. Today I had enough. I desperately needed a home cooked meal. So I got the kitchen in order and started prepping dinner. Tonight I was in an experimental mood and wanted to try something different.

So I made my household famous “Oven Fried Wings” and added a Brown Sugar and Peanut Butter Glaze/Sauce. It gives the chicken a bit of an Asian Flare. It was absolutely delicious. This is one experiment that paid off!!

To make the wings click here.

Now onto the Brown Sugar & Peanut Butter Glaze/Sauce

1/2 C of light brown sugar

1/2 C of water

1/4 tsp of garlic powder

1/4 tsp of black pepper

1/4 tsp of Mrs. Dash

1 TBS of Peanut Butter

In a pot add water and brown sugar on medium high heat, until the sugar is dissolved. Your basically making a simple syrup. Remove from the heat. Add all of your remaining ingredients and whisk well. Once everything is incorporated pour over your chicken and serve.

Happy Cooking & Enjoy!!!! 😀
