ingredients
- 3 - 3 1⁄2 lbs chicken wings, separated at the joints, wing tips reserved for another purpose
- 2 tablespoons roughly chopped garlic
- 1⁄4 cup chopped shallot
- 1⁄4 cup chopped fresh ginger
- 3 tablespoons chopped green onions, bottoms
- 1⁄2 cup lemongrass, bottoms roughly chopped
- 3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
- 1⁄3 cup fish sauce
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 3 tablespoons peanut oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 cup dry roasted peanuts, chopped
- 1⁄4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
directions
- Rinse the wing pieces under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside in a large bowl while you prepare the marinade.
- Combine the garlic, shallots, ginger, green onions, lemongrass, brown sugar, fish sauce, lime juice and peanut oil in the bowl of a food processor and process until smooth. Pour the marinade over the chicken wings and place in a plastic resealable food storage bag. Refrigerate overnight.
- Preheat the grill to medium and remove the wings from the marinade. Reserve the marinade to brush the wings while they cook. Place the wings on the grill and season with the salt, and cook, turning over every few minutes and basting with the marinade for the first 18 minutes or so. Continue to cook the wings until cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes more.
- Place the chicken on a serving platter and garnish with the chopped peanuts and chopped cilantro. Serve immediately.

These were delicious, my friend.....I kept grabbing one each time I went through the kitchen.....do you realize how many times you go through your kitchen, daily! Each of your ingredients married perfectly! Would I make these again? You bet! I've got the other naked wings just begging to jump into this! Thnx for sharing, Vicki. Made for the Voracious Vagabonds for ZZWT6. -
These were very good ~ I liked how the marinade created a nice coating on the wings, and marinading during cooking (I baked and then broiled to crisp up) added to the flavor. The lemongrass and ginger really shone through. Thanks for posting ~ made for ZWT 6 ASIA - "The Countries of Asia Challenge" ~ for Vietnam! -
Made for 1-2-3 Hit Wonders. We enjoyed these. I did, however, make these with chicken tenders. Enjoyed the mix of flavors. Would make these again. Thanks for posting this Vicki! -
These were delicious and easy to make. Very subtle flavors, cooked up nice and tender. I followed the directions as written and these wings cooked perfectly with just the right crispness outside, nice and tender inside. My family devoured these with no leftovers. -
Our family & guests enjoyed these very much. I left out the brown sugar but did on the grill as suggested. I was interested to read Susie Cooks review just now as it wasn't here when I printed out the recipe. Her way of doing them was how I thought I might work better for our taste/texture preferences. I would put a bit of oil in the bottom of a heavy duty cookie sheet and bake them at 400°F for 15 minutes, turn and continue for 10 to 15 minutes more. We like them crispy but not blackened. Also, I would add 1 tsp of either dried red pepper flakes OR 1 tsp of Sombel Oelek to the marinade. Enjoyed these for ZWT 4
