Ingredients
For the marinade
- 2 pounds chicken wings rinse and pat dry
- ¼ cup fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce low sodium
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons lime juice ~1 lime
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoons ginger grated
- 1 teaspoon chili flakes
For frying

- ½ cup cornstarch
For garnish
- 2 green onions thinly sliced on an angle
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix fish sauce, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, garlic, ginger, and chili flakes (if using). Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss to coat. Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour or overnight for best flavor.
- Heat oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C). Remove the wings from the marinade and pat them dry. Lightly coat them with cornstarch. Fry the wings in batches for about 8-10 minutes or until golden and crispy. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Pour the leftover marinade into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes to thicken slightly. Toss the cooked wings in the reduced glaze or brush it over them generously.
- Sprinkle with green onions, sesame seeds, and fresh cilantro or Thai basil. Serve hot with lime wedges on the side.
