I am allergic to all things fish, therefor cannot use fish sauce or oyster sauce. What do you recommend as a substitute? Thank you.
You can use soy sauce.
Hello! If I want to make this recipe with a 10 pound bag do I need to multiple all the ingredients? Over a cup of sugar is making me little nervous admittedly! Thank you so much!
Hi Maria, you don’t have to multiply directly. I can’t tell you exactly because I haven’t made with 10 lb chicken wings. You can marinate them in a few batches.
These are delicious. My little ones absolutely loved them too. They both hate cilantro however I told them to put it on their chicken to have their minds blown and they were pleasantly surprised. I will definitely be making these again, quick, easy and yummy ?
Hi Sarah, thanks so much for trying Vietnamese chicken wings. Yes, they are amazing. Cilantro as a marinade does wonders to the flavors. Don’t say don’t tell and nobody knows.
Come on! Where is the recipe???
Jerry – the recipe is right at the bottom of the page!
Hi! What’s a good dip to make with these wings on the side? Can you share the recipe for it? Thank you!
Just serve with Thai sweet chili sauce in a bottle. :)
Made these the other night – only difference is that I steamed the wings for ten minutes then refrigerated them for an hour. (Seems to insure crispy skin and juicy, fat-coated meat.) I then let them come to room temp and threw them in the marinade for about 4 hours.
My wife has never been a fan of fish suce – even during the year we lived in Bangkok – so I usually use less than a recipe calls for. This time I followed it exactly. But I also held some back that I tossed in a little peanut oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder. I roasted them along side the Vietnamese wings and served an Indonesian peanut sauce (a favorite of my wife’s) for dipping.
Thankfully, she left me a few of the Vietnamese wings. The layers of flavor from that marinade are perfectly balanced and totally delicious.
Thanks for sharing it.

Hi Steve, I am so happy that you had success with these Vietnamese Chicken Wings. Yay that your wife loved them. :)
You just blew my mind with the pre-steaming step. Thank you!
Hi, I was wondering if oyster sauce could be used instead of the fish sauce? Or would it make too much of a difference in flavor?
You can use oyster sauce.
Can the wings be air fried?
I think so, I haven’t tried air frying though.
Love your recipes! If I don’t like fish sauce is there something else I can substitute for the Vietnamese chicken wings?
