When it comes to summer BBQ parties, one item that is always on my menu is BBQ wings.
When it comes to grilling time, chicken wing is the way to go.
Other Recipes You Might Like
One of the most delicious grilled or BBQ chicken wings recipes is Lemongrass Wings, using lemongrass and fish sauce to marinate the wings. This recipe is Vietnamese-inspired.
This is an easy recipe as the ingredient lists are pretty short: lemongrass, fish sauce, garlic, honey, and black pepper. Marinate the wings overnight and fire up your grill the next day.
If you don’t have a grill, you can bake these wings in the oven and then broil it for a couple of minutes to char the surface. You can also use a grill pan and cook on stove top.
For the chicken wings, get smaller party wings if you can. These days, all the wings are rather big, so I always look for “party wings” whenever I have BBQ.
Party wings are are small but still meaty. They are just perfect for BBQ as they cook fast and more importantly, they will be cooked through before burning.

Lemongrass Wings
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons grated lemongrass
- 2 stalks lemongrass ((pounded))
- 1 1/2 lbs. small chicken wings, party wings
- 3 tablespoons fish sauce
- 5 cloves garlic (peeled and smashed)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/4 teaspoon coarsely cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Use a grater such as Microplane to grate the white part of the lemongrass, about 2 tablespoons. Keep the rest of the lemongrass and cut into 4-inch length, use the back of a knife to pound and smash the lemongrass to release its aroma and flavor.
- Rinse the chicken wings with cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Transfer the wings to a big Ziploc bag and add all the ingredients inside. Combine everything well and make sure that the wings are nicely coated with the fish sauce and lemongrass mixture. Let marinate in the fridge overnight.
- Fire up the grill the next day. Grill the wings until they turn golden brown and nicely charred on both sides. Serve immediately.

I made this for dinner today and it was a huge hit. Delicious, thank you!
Can these be made in the air fryer? Or will the honey burn? Thank you!
I am not sure. Just follow the instructions.
interested in trying this recipe but wondering about marinating time, is overnight too long? and if i wanted to eat for dinner, should i start marinating about 8 hours before?
You don’t have to marinate overnight, you can just marinate for 30 minutes to 1 hour if you don’t have time.
