These wings are what sticky and messy wing dreams are made of. Make sure you wash your hands before you dig into these because your hands will be covered in this sauce and you’ll want to slurp every every bit that’s left behind. Wait. I said slurp and I’m grossed out now. What a disgusting word. But there’s really no better word to explain this sauce. It’s so damn good. It’s the same sauce I use for my Pad Thai Casserole and it can really go on top of anything. I’ve put it on pork chops and rotisserie chicken and it would be BOMB with shrimp. Just saying. Make every, slurp daily.

PaleOMG Pad Thai Chicken Wings

Well we are officially off to Costa Rica! Yesterday was our 1 year wedding anniversary and it was spent working, working out and running errands. But now our bags are packed and we are ready to enjoy time together, just the two of us, exploring a place that we have made no plans in! I’m so pumped for that. I’m looking forward to coffee at a local coffee shop, surfing, zip lining, maybe ATVing and eating my weight in plantains.

I wish I had more to say but I’m in vacation moooooode! But not to worry, I still have all my posts ready to go for you guys while I’m gone. A new fashion post tomorrow, more recipes next week, podcasts, and everything in between! Until tomorrow, Pura Vida!

No wait, stop what you’re doing and go make these wings! GO!

    THESE are my new favorite wing recipe. I used peanut butter instead of sunbutter (no hate to sunbutter, my fiance just prefers PB) and it still worked perfectly. Thanks for another amazing recipe Juli!! 🙂

    Just preparing some party fare and was wondering if this sauce can be made one day prior to serving ?
    Thanks again and Merry Christmas to you and yours from Canada!

    1. juli says:

      yes, it just needs a little heating up before you put it on the wings because it gets thicker when cooled
