Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat wings dry. Mix fish sauce, lime juice, garlic, sugar, and chili powder in a bowl until sugar dissolves.

  2. Step 2

    Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.

  3. Step 3

    Add wings in a single layer. Sear 4 minutes without stirring until bottoms turn golden brown.

  4. Step 4

    Flip wings and cook 3 more minutes until the second side browns and edges char slightly.

  5. Step 5

    Pour the marinade over the wings and toss constantly for 2 minutes until the sauce coats and clings to each piece.

  6. Step 6

    Serve immediately while hot and sticky.
