Ingredients

• 2 pounds Chicken wings
• 4 pieces Garlic cloves
• 2 pieces Lemongrass stalks (trimmed and finely chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
• 3 tablespoons Fish sauce
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons Chopped cilantro (optional for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons Chopped scallions (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a food processor or blender, combine garlic, lemongrass, lime juice, fish sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, ground black pepper, paprika, and vegetable oil. Blend until a smooth marinade forms.

Step 2

Place the chicken wings in a large bowl or a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Toss to ensure all wings are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for the best flavor.

Step 3

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.

Step 4

Arrange the marinated chicken wings on the wire rack, spacing them out so they are not touching. Reserve the leftover marinade for basting.

Step 5

Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, baste the wings with the reserved marinade, and flip them over. Baste the other side as well.

Step 6

Return the wings to the oven and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C).

Step 7

If desired, turn on the broiler for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking for extra crispy skin. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.

Step 8

Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro and scallions if desired, and serve immediately.
