Lemongrass Chicken Wings
Sounds tasty and easy. On my to make and taste list.
Ingredients
- 1 kilo chicken wings, tips removed, (2 lbs)
- 1 stalk lemongrass, hard layers removed, beaten, minced, or 1 tsp powdered
- 2 cloves garlic, smashed and minced
- 1 shallot, minced
- 2 teaspoons ginger, minced
- ¼ cup fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 ½ teaspoons soy sauce
- fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish if desired
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, add the lemongrass, garlic, shallot, ginger, fish sauce, lime juice, oil, and sugar. Whisk together until the sugar is dissolved.
- Place the wings in sturdy zip lock bag and pour the marinade into the bag. Squeeze out the air and zip the bag closed, then squish the wings around to coat them with the marinade. Place the bag in a large dish and place in the fridge for at least 4 hours and overnight for more flavor.
- When ready to cook, preheat your oven to 180° C (350° F) and line a baking sheet with foil. Mix together the honey and soy sauce.
- Remove the wings from the marinade and drain, discard the marinade. Place wings on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes.
- 15 minutes into baking, baste the wings with the honey and soy sauce mixture. Continue baking, a few minutes before the 30 minutes are up, baste the wings one more with the honey and soy sauce mixture.
- Remove wings to a serving platter and sprinkle with the cilantro if using.
- Serve with sides of your choice.
