  • 2 pounds chicken wings
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

For the Dipping Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup fish sauce
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Marinade

  1. Mix the Marinade Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the fish sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, chopped lemongrass, grated ginger, lime juice, chili flakes (if using), and vegetable oil. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved and the ingredients are well combined.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken wings to the bowl, ensuring they are fully coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the meat.
