Ingredients

For the Wings
  • 5 cups oil
  • 3 lbs chicken wings (flats and drumettes)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • ¼ cup corn starch
For the Fish Sauce Glaze
  • 3 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 3 tablespoon water
  • 2 tablespoon lemon or lime juice
  • 4 tablespoon sugar
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-3 thai chilis, minced (optional)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat a heavy bottomed pot/dutch oven, cast iron skillet or deep fryer to 350 degrees
  2. Pat chicken wings dry and in a large bowl, season with salt, pepper and garlic powder
  3. Mix fish sauce, sugar, water, lemon or lime juice, garlic and chilis together
  4. Pour corn starch over seasoned chicken wings and toss to coat
  5. Fry wings in oil in batches for about 8-10 minutes each batch, or until golden brown. Set cooked wings aside on a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil.
  6. Heat fish sauce mixture in a saucepan on medium heat until thick and glossy. You should be able to drag a spatula across the sauce and see the bottom of the pan briefly before the sauce floods back down.
  7. In a large bowl, toss cooked wings with glaze and serve immediately.
