Grilled Vietnamese Style 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.
