VIETNAMESE CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Rinse the chicken wings with cold water. Pat dry with paper towels. Transfer the chicken to a big bowl or a Ziplock bag.
• In a bowl, add the garlic, fish sauce, sugar and ground black pepper together. Stir to mix well.
• Add the marinade to the chicken wings, combine well so the chicken wings are well coated with the marinade. Marinate the chicken wings for two hours or best overnight in the refrigerator.
• Preheat oven to 400°F (207°C). Arrange the chicken wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 30 minutes or until the surface turns golden brown. Top with the crushed peanuts and cilantro and serve immediately.

FISH SAUCE CHICKEN WINGS RECIPE

Steps:

• Cut the chicken wings into 3 parts. If you like, you can make the drumette which is the "upper arm" of the wing into a lollipop. (You can watch the video on how to do it).
• Place the wings in a bowl and lightly season with chicken rub seasoning (or use your favorite seasonings, like some garlic powder, etc if you wish). Add the cornstarch and lightly dredge the chicken. Set aside.

FISH SAUCE CHICKEN WINGS: VIETNAMESE STYLE

Steps:

• First make the marinade. Mince the garlic with the salt. We used a garlic press and mixed the salt in. Add the warm water and let sit for 10 minutes. Add the fish sauce and sugar, stirring to dissolve.
• Place the chicken wings in a separate large bowl with ½ cup of the fish sauce mixture and toss. Marinate for 4 hours or overnight, setting aside the rest of the fish sauce mixture in the refrigerator.
• When the wings are done marinating, transfer to a colander, and let drain for 15 minutes. Mix the rice flour and cornstarch together, and toss the wings in the dry mixture until coated.
• Bake the wings at 475 degrees for 24 minutes, flipping halfway through. Halfway through the cooking time, start to make the glaze.
• Add ¼ cup of water to the reserved fish sauce mixture and transfer to a hot wok. Add the chili paste. Bring to a boil in a wok, and reduce for 1-2 minutes. Add the wings and toss to coat them in the glaze, about 1 minute.
• Serve with some refreshing sliced cucumbers on the side!
