Tried out the Caramelized Chicken Wings at allrecipes.com and we loved it! It is a tad bit on the sweet side like a lot of people commented but I wanted to try and stick to the original recipe as much as possible before trying out the alternate versions. I must admit I used raw sugar instead of white sugar and didn't add the wine vinegar because I didn't have any at home. I also used crunchy peanut butter for the extra crunch! And I baked it at the end - that really helped thicken it and give it an extra texture. Okay so I made a LOT of changes hehe but anyways after cooking it I tried it with some tabacco sauce and that did balance out the sweetness a little. Next time might add some chilli powder or something on top. For me the sauce thickened by the end of the first 30mins so I didn't really need to simmer it for another 30mins so that definitely cut down the cooking time. After simmering it I told out the chicken and placed it in a oven tray with some of the sauce and popped it under the grill. I wasn't sure if it would dry out under the grill so I left a little sauce in the pan which I simmered a little to make it sticker and then top it off at the end. The sauce in the over was nice and sticky too - not too try at all. The sauce is really nice - I think the peanut butter makes it extra special. Will definitely try it again and look at reducing the sugar. We thought it would work well with ribs because it's that kind of 'finger lickin good' type of sauce so might try that next.
Next recipe to try: Easy Fried Eggplant (because I have some eggplants in the fridge and really need to cook it soon!)
