Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup Thai or Vietnamese fish sauce
  • 1/2 cup superfine sugar
  • 2 large cloves garlic minced
  • 3 pounds chicken wings split at the joint
  • 1-2 tablespoons chili garlic sauce such as Huy Fong brand
  • 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro and/or mint for garnish

Instructions
 

  • METHOD:
  • In a small bowl, add 2 cloves of the minced garlic and sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
  • Massage the salt into the garlic to begin to extract its oils.
  • Dilute with 1/4 cup of water and allow to sit for 5 minutes.
  • Strain the garlic mixture through cheesecloth into a clean bowl, squeezing to extract as much flavor as possible.
  • In another bowl, prepare the marinade by whisking together the liquid garlic extract, fish sauce and superfine sugar.
  • Add the chicken and the marinade to a reseal-able zip-top bag and place in the refrigerator overnight.
  • Make sure to toss the wings occasionally to evenly distribute the marinade.
  • SAUCE:
  • Take the chicken out of the marinade and pour the marinade into a saucepan
  • I added the garlic & ginger, too.
  • Bring this to a slight boil over medium-high heat and then add Roasted Red Chili Paste.
  • GRILLING:
  • I grilled them at 300F with a raised grid
  • I cooked these for almost an hour
  • Chop some cilantro
  • Then toss the cooked wings in the sticky sauce and cilantro
