Description
Vietnamese Fish Sauce Wings are crispy, savory chicken wings glazed with a flavorful blend of fish sauce, garlic, and a hint of sweetness—perfect as a snack or appetizer with a punch of umami.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs chicken wings, tips removed
- 3 tablespoons fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Chopped fresh cilantro and sliced green onions for garnish
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine fish sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, lime juice, black pepper, and vegetable oil.
- Add chicken wings to the marinade and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight in the fridge.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
- Arrange wings on the wire rack and bake for 35–40 minutes, turning halfway through, until wings are crispy and cooked through.
- Optional: For extra crispiness, broil wings for 2–3 minutes at the end, watching carefully.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro and green onions before serving.
Notes
- Marinating overnight enhances the flavor deeply.
- Serve with a side of pickled vegetables or steamed rice.
- Can be grilled instead of baked for a smoky flavor.
- Adjust lime juice and sugar for more tang or sweetness to taste.
