Instructions

Rinse the chicken wings with cold water. Pat dry with paper towels. Transfer the chicken to a big bowl or a Ziplock bag.
In a bowl, add the garlic, fish sauce, sugar, and ground black pepper together. Stir to mix well.
Add the marinade to the chicken wings and mix until well-coated. Marinate the chicken wings for two hours or best, overnight in the refrigerator.
Preheat oven to 400°F (207°C). Arrange the chicken wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 30 minutes or until the surface turns golden brown. Top with the crushed peanuts and chopped cilantro and serve immediately.

Notes

Add chili flakes to the marinade for a spicier Vietnamese wings recipe.
For the juiciest and tastiest chicken, marinate the wings for at least two hours. Best if overnight!
For crispier wings, place the marinated wings in the refrigerator uncovered for a few hours to dry out the skin before baking.
The sugar in the marinade will caramelize and may stick to the tray, making cleaning and scrubbing a pain. Line your tray with a silicone mat, baking paper, or foil to catch those drips for easier cleanup.
To bake these Vietnamese inspired wings in a convection oven, reduce the baking temperature by 25°F and check the wings a few minutes earlier.
For an extra depth of flavor, toast the peanuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant and golden brown before crushing them. This step brings out more of their natural oils and flavors.
If you want to achieve a nice char on the wings without grilling, broil them for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
