Ingredients
- 3 pounds (1.35kg) whole chicken wings
The Marinade:
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 2 stalks fresh lemongrass white part only, coarsely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic coarsely chopped
- 2 scallions white part only, coarsely chopped
- 2 Thai chilies with seeds coarsely chopped
- 1/4 cup cilantro coarsely chopped
- 1 tablespoon minced ginger
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 3 tablespoons fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Other
- 12-14 long bamboo skewers soaked in water for at least 30 minutes
- oiled paper towel or cloth
- 1/2 cup Thai sweet chili sauce Mae Ploy
- banana leaf optional
- 2 scallions green part only, thinly sliced for garnishing
Instructions
- Use paper towels to pat the chicken wings dry. Transfer the wings to a 1-gallon (3.7-liter) storage/freezer bag.
- In a blender or food processor, puree the marinade until smooth. Pour it over the chicken wings in the storage bag, seal tightly, and coat the wings evenly. Chill for at least 2-4 hours or overnight.
- Remove any excess marinade from the chicken wings. Thread each wing onto a bamboo skewer, from the drumette to the wingtip, to stretch it out.
- Prepare the gas or charcoal grill for grilling. Wipe the grate with an oiled paper towel or cloth. Grill the chicken wings skin side down until golden brown, about 8-12 minutes, depending on the heat. Turn them over and grill the other side for another 8-12 minutes, or until they reach your desired tenderness.
- Brush both sides of the chicken wings with Thai sweet chili sauce and grill until the glaze sizzles, about 1-2 minutes on each side. Transfer the wings to a plate lined with banana leaves, garnish with scallion greens, and serve.

Notes
- You can also use an instant-read thermometer to check the chicken wing. Insert it into the thickest part of the wing and if it reads 165°F, it should be cooked.
