Easy Chinese Vietnamese Chicken Wings Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 pounds chicken wings, trimmed
• 1/4 cup fish sauce
• 1/4 cup tamarind paste
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Sichuan peppercorns, crushed
• 1 teaspoon chili flakes
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• Fresh cilantro, for garnish
• 1 lime, cut into wedges

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line an 18x13-inch half sheet pan with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl (4-quart), combine fish sauce, tamarind paste, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, crushed Sichuan peppercorns, and chili flakes. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved.
3. Add the chicken wings to the bowl, mixing to ensure they are fully coated in the marinade. Allow to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
4. Spread the marinated wings out evenly on the prepared sheet pan. Drizzle with vegetable oil to promote crispiness.
5. Roast the wings in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until golden-brown and crispy, turning halfway through for even cooking.
6. Once cooked, transfer the wings to a serving platter. Garnish generously with fresh cilantro and lime wedges before serving.
