Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 351kcal
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 2 whole limes
Marinade:
- ½ cup fish sauce
- ½ cup coconut sugar (substitute brown sugar)
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 ½ teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon lemongrass
Instructions
- Combine all the marinade ingredients in a bowl and mix to combine. Remove 2-3 tablespoons and reserve for later.
- Add the wings and toss to coat. Let sit in the fridge overnight or for at least 6-8 hours.
- Heat the oven to 400F degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil (helps prevent a mess later).
- Spread the wings on the pan in a single layer, along with the crushed garlic cloves and place in the oven.
- Cook for 35-45 minutes, or until the wings are golden brown and bubbly. Turn them once at the halfway point, and baste with the 2-3 tablespoons of reserved marinade.
- Remove from heat and serve hot.
Notes
- Marinading them for the full 6-8 hours will help give them a deep flavor.
- Sprinkle them with fried garlic before serving them.
- Add 1-2 tablespoons of chili sauce to the marinade if you want to add spice to the wings.
- For an extra pop of freshness, drizzle them with fresh squeezed lime juice.
