Categories     Chicken

Time 30m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup fish sauce
1/4 cup superfine sugar
8 garlic cloves, 5 crushed and 3 minced
1 1/2 lbs chicken wings
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for frying
1/3 cup cornstarch
1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped
1 tablespoon mint, chopped

Steps:

  • In a bowl, whisk the fish sauce, sugar and crushed garlic. Add the wings and toss to coat. Refrigerate for 3 hours, tossing the wings occasionally.
  • Heat the 2 tablespoons of oil in a small skillet. Add the minced garlic; cook over moderate heat until golden, 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
  • In a large pot, heat 2 inches of oil to 350°. Pat the wings dry on paper towels; reserve the marinade. Put the cornstarch in a shallow bowl, add the wings and turn to coat. Fry the wings in batches until golden and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels and transfer to a bowl.
  • In a small saucepan, simmer the marinade over moderately high heat until syrupy, 5 minutes. Strain over the wings and toss. Top with the cilantro, mint and fried garlic and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of wings. You can use a mix of drumettes and flats, or all of one or the other. If you're using a mix, be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly, as drumettes take longer to cook than flats.
  • Dry the wings thoroughly before cooking. This will help them to crisp up in the oven.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet. If you overcrowd the baking sheet, the wings will steam instead of roasting and they won't get crispy.
  • Roast the wings at a high temperature. This will help them to get crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.
  • Flip the wings halfway through cooking. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Make the fish sauce glaze while the wings are cooking. This will give the glaze time to develop its flavors.
  • Toss the wings in the fish sauce glaze immediately after they come out of the oven. This will help the glaze to adhere to the wings.
  • Serve the wings immediately. They're best when eaten hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

These Vietnamese fish sauce wings are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They're perfect for a party or a weeknight dinner. The fish sauce glaze gives the wings a sweet, savory, and slightly tangy flavor that is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a new wing recipe, give these Vietnamese fish sauce wings a try.
