Vietnamese Chicken Wings Recipes

VIETNAMESE CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Bruise the lemongrass using the side of your knife (or a pestle). Slice the white part only into 0.5cm / 1/4" slices, thick enough to pick off later if any stick to the wings.
• Combine lemongrass with the rest of the marinade ingredients and mix well.
• Combine marinade with wings in a ziplock bag. Remove as much air as possible from the bag and seal. Massage marinade into the wings to evenly disperse.
• Marinate for at least a few hours, preferably overnight.
• When ready to cook, pour the wings and marinade into a large bowl.

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 9x13 inch baking dish with aluminum foil.

VIETNAMESE LIME CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Combine the bouillon, chili sauce, honey, oil, shallots, vinegar and lime leaves and whisk together to form a uniform paste. Reserve some paste for brushing, and place the rest in a resealable plastic bag. Toss the chicken wings in the paste in the bag and allow to marinate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
• Build a hot charcoal fire on one side of the grill. Set the chicken wings on the grill opposite of the hot coal side. Cover the grill and cook until the wings are just about cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes. Rotate the wings halfway through for even cooking.
• To finish the wings, brush with the reserved paste and grill directly over hot coals until charred slightly.
• Transfer to a platter and top with cilantro leaves and peanuts.
