Ingredients
- 3 pounds chicken wings
- Sesame oil, for tossing
- 1/2 cup fish sauce
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 hot chiles (optional)
- 1 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
- Sliced green onions, for garnish
Directions
Preheat oven to 350° F or heat a grill to medium-high heat.
Toss wings with oil. Bake or grill chicken until an internal temperature taken with an instant-read thermometer reaches 165° F.
Meanwhile, combine fish sauce, sugar, garlic, lime juice, chiles and pepper in a saucepan over medium-high heat; stir until sugar dissolves. Continue cooking until sauce thickens into a thin syrup. Remove chiles.
When chicken is fully cooked, baste generously with sauce and cook until nicely browned, 2 to 5 additional minutes. Sprinkle with green onions and serve.
Special notes:
If this is your first time cooking with fish sauce, the very potent smell can be surprising, but is completely normal! However, the flavor, once cooked, mellows quite a bit when balanced with sugar and lime juice.
