Crispy Oven-Baked Asian Chicken Wings

Crispy Oven-Baked Asian Chicken Wings are marinated in a blend of fish sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, and Asian spices, then coated with starch and baking powder for a crisp finish. Baking at high heat yields tender meat with a crackling exterior. Tossed in fresh chili, garlic, and herbs after baking, they deliver a vibrant, aromatic flavor.
