Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Chicken wings
- 3 tbsp Fish sauce
- 1 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 2 tbsp Lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 medium Shallot, minced
- 1 tsp Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tsp Chili flakes or fresh red chili, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- 4 pieces Lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine fish sauce, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, minced garlic, minced shallot, black pepper, chili flakes, and vegetable oil. Mix well to form the marinade.
Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly with the marinade.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully develop.
Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 375°F/190°C). Oil the grill grates lightly to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken wings from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and place them on the grill.
Grill the wings for about 8-10 minutes per side, or until they are fully cooked and have a nice charred appearance. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
While grilling, occasionally brush the wings with the leftover marinade for extra flavor. Stop brushing about 5 minutes before removing them from the grill to avoid any risk from raw marinade.
Transfer the grilled chicken wings to a serving plate, garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, and serve with lime wedges on the side.
Enjoy your flavorful Vietnamese Grilled Chicken Wings!
