Vietnamese Lemongrass Chicken Wings/Thighs




This is a simple Vietnamese recipe that must be prepared at least one day ahead of time for the lemongrass flavours to fully penetrate the chicken wings (for best results, 2 days). When finished, the wings come out sticky and crunchy, due to the brown sugar and fish sauce in the marinade. I would recommend a Thai or Vietnamese fish sauce for this recipe.

Ingredients:
3 lbs of chicken wings or thighs
3 large stalks of lemongrass, minced
1/4 cup of garlic, minced
1/3 cup of ginger, grated
1/3 cup of fish sauce
2 tablespoons of brown sugar
2-3 limes, zested and juiced

Method:
1. In a large bag, combine all of the ingredients and marinade the chicken wings for 24 hours.
2. Grill on the barbecue or bake in the oven for 25 - 30 minutes, turning once, at 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
