Laotian-Style Chicken Wings
Laotian-Style Chicken Wings
I’m not a fan of heavily sauce covered chicken wings. The combination of buffalo sauced wings being dipped in ranch dressing is an abomination to the culinary world as far as I’m concerned. These chicken wings are the exact opposite. The wings are marinated in an oyster sauce/garlic/cilantro base with a few seasonings and a bit of sugar to add a hint of sweetness. You can either grill or broil the chicken wings for about 20 minutes, flipping half way through. The other option would be to bake them in the oven at 400 degrees for 45-50 minutes. The wings turn out crispy, moist, and highly flavorful without any deep frying and drowning in sauce.
