Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Chicken wings
- 5 cloves Garlic
- 3 tbsp Fish sauce
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 3 tbsp Brown sugar
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 1 tbsp Lime juice
- 0.5 cup Rice flour
- 0.5 cup Cornstarch
- 4 cups Vegetable oil
- 2 tbsp Chopped cilantro
- 1 tbsp Chopped red chilies
Instructions
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and set aside.
In a large bowl, mix the rice flour and cornstarch together. Coat each chicken wing thoroughly in the mixture and place them on a plate.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or large pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry the coated chicken wings in small batches for 6-8 minutes until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the wings and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
In a small saucepan, heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add fish sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, and lime juice to the saucepan. Stir well and simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Toss the fried chicken wings in the sauce until fully coated. Transfer the wings to a serving platter.
Garnish the wings with chopped cilantro and red chilies for a fresh and spicy kick before serving.
