Marinated Chicken Wings
- 3 tablespoons fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon palm or light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon minced cilantro stems
- 1 stalk lemongrass minced
- ½ teaspoon ground white pepper
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 3 lbs (1.35kg) chicken wings
Glaze
- ¼ cup Thai sweet chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons roughly chopped cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha chili sauce option – for those extra spicy ribs
Marinade Wings:
Whisk together fish sauce, sugar, cilantro, lemongrass, white pepper, and oil. Toss wings well, cover and refrigerate for at least one hour, ideally overnight.
I have found that serving with some lime wedges allows those that care to add an extra burst of flavor.
