Description
Crispy Thai Fish Sauce Wings are marinated to perfection, yielding a depth of flavor and a satisfying crunch with a delightful flavor profile from traditional Thai cooking.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450 g) chicken wing flats (wingettes)
- 1 ½ Tbsp fish sauce
- ½ tsp ground white or black pepper (optional)
- ¼ to ⅓ cup regular rice flour
- Sweet chili sauce for dipping (optional)
Instructions
- Marinate the wings: In a sizable dish or zip-top bag, toss the chicken wings with fish sauce, ensuring every wing is coated. Let them marinate for 20-30 minutes.
- Prepare for cooking: After marinating, pat the wings dry with paper towels and sprinkle with pepper if using. Coat each wing in rice flour, shaking off excess.
- Fry the wings:
- Shallow Frying: Heat about ½ inch of oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry wings for about 4 minutes on each side.
- Deep Frying: Heat oil to 375°F (190°C) and fry wings in batches for about 4-5 minutes until golden.
- Air Frying: Spray or brush wings with oil, then air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes.
- Serve the wings hot, optionally paired with sweet chili sauce on the side.
Notes
Ensure wings are at room temperature before cooking for consistent results. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
