Ingredients

For the Wings

  • 5 cups oil
  • 3 lbs chicken wings (flats and drumettes)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • ¼ cup corn starch

For the Fish Sauce Glaze

  • 3 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 3 tablespoon water
  • 2 tablespoon lemon or lime juice
  • 4 tablespoon sugar
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-3 thai chilis, minced (optional)

Instructions

  • Heat a heavy bottomed pot/dutch oven, cast iron skillet or deep fryer to 350 degrees
  • Pat chicken wings dry and in a large bowl, season with salt, pepper and garlic powder
  • Mix fish sauce, sugar, water, lemon or lime juice, garlic and chilis together
  • Pour corn starch over seasoned chicken wings and toss to coat
  • Fry wings in oil in batches for about 8-10 minutes each batch, or until golden brown. Set cooked wings aside on a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil.
  • Heat fish sauce mixture in a saucepan on medium heat until thick and glossy. You should be able to drag a spatula across the sauce and see the bottom of the pan briefly before the sauce floods back down.
  • In a large bowl, toss cooked wings with glaze and serve immediately.
