Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels and arrange on a large baking sheet lined with foil.

  2. Step 2

    In a small bowl, whisk together fish sauce, palm sugar, lime juice, and soy sauce until sugar dissolves.

    Heat vegetable oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sliced Thai chilies, sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  4. Step 4

    Pour the garlic-chili oil into the fish sauce mixture and stir well to combine.

  5. Step 5

    Brush the glaze evenly over all chicken wings, turning to coat both sides.

  6. Step 6

    Bake for 30-35 minutes, stirring and basting wings halfway through, until golden and cooked through.

  7. Step 7

    Transfer wings to a serving plate and garnish with fresh cilantro, crushed peanuts, and a squeeze of lime juice.

  8. Step 8

    Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
