Servings: 14 people
Calories: 139kcal
Ingredients
- 3 pounds (1.35kg) whole chicken wings
The Marinade:
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 2 stalks fresh lemongrass white part only, coarsely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic coarsely chopped
- 2 scallions white part only, coarsely chopped
- 2 Thai chilies with seeds coarsely chopped
- 1/4 cup cilantro coarsely chopped
- 1 tablespoon minced ginger
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 3 tablespoons fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Other
- 12-14 long bamboo skewers soaked in water for at least 30 minutes
- oiled paper towel or cloth
- 1/2 cup Thai sweet chili sauce Mae Ploy
- banana leaf optional
- 2 scallions green part only, thinly sliced for garnishing
Instructions
- Use paper towels to pat the chicken wings dry. Transfer the chicken wings into a 1-gallon (3.7 litre)storage/freezer bag.
- In a blender or food processor, puree the Marinade until smooth.
- Pour the Marinade over the chicken wings in the storage bag. Close the bag tightly and coat the chicken wings evenly with the marinade. Chill for at least 2-4 hours or overnight.
- Remove any excess marinade on the chicken wings. Thread each chicken wing on a bamboo skewer, from the drumette to the wingtip, to stretch out the wing.
- Prepare the gas/charcoal grill for grilling. Wipe the grate with an oiled paper towel or cloth.
- Grill the chicken wings with skin side down until golden brown, about 8-12 minutes, depending on the heat. Turn over and grill the other side, another 8-12 minutes or until desired tenderness.
- Brush both sides of the chicken wings with the Thai sweet chili sauce and grill until the glaze sizzles, 1-2 minutes each side. Transfer the chicken wings to a plate lined with banana leaf, garnish with scallion greens, and serve.
Notes
You can also use an instant-read thermometer to check the chicken wing. Insert it into the thickest part of the wing and if it reads 165°F, it should be cooked.
