Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken wings
-
4 tbsp Red Boat Fish Sauce
- 2 tsp bouillon powder
- 2 tbsp garlic
- 4 tsp ginger
- 4 tsp shallot
- 2 oz tapioca starch
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tsp sugar
- Vegetable oil
- Chili - fresh slices or dried flakes (optional)
- Cilantro for serving/garnish
Directions
Rinse and cut the wings, separating the drumettes and flats.
- Mince garlic and shallot. Grate ginger.
- Marinate wings with half the amount of: bouillon powder, garlic, shallot, ginger, and fish sauce.
- Let marinate for at least 30 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure all pieces have a chance to absorb the marinade.
- Meanwhile, make the sauce by mixing together the remaining fish sauce and bouillon powder with the sugar and honey.
- Once the wings are done marinating, pour out any excess liquid.
- Add tapioca starch and toss to cover every piece.
- Heat a frying pan on medium and add a thin layer (~1/2 cm) of vegetable oil.
- Place the wings in the pan in a single layer, leaving space between each to avoid sticking. You may have to do this in several batches.
- Fry on medium low, turning the pieces every few minutes, until golden on all sides (about 10 minutes).
- Remove wings from pan and set aside.
- Pour out excess oil and wipe your pan.
- Return pan to stove, heat on medium, and add 2 tsp of oil.
- Add remaining garlic, ginger, and shallot. Sauté for 15 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in the sauce.
- Add the wings back in and stir to coat.
- Cover and cook on low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. The sauce will thicken and become a glaze.
- Add chili, stir, and remove from heat.
- Garnish with cilantro and serve as an appetizer or a main with rice.
