How to Make It
1. Step
Add the chicken wings, lemongrass, cilantro, garlic, pepper, soy sauce, fish sauce, low-sodium soy sauce, and palm sugar to a large zip-top bag. Seal the bag and massage the chicken to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, up to overnight.
2. Step
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Place your oven rack on the upper third of the oven and place a metal cooling rack inside a rimmed baking sheet.
3. Step
Arrange the marinated chicken wings on the rack. Transfer to the oven and bake for 15 minutes, until browned and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Turn the oven to broil and broil the wings until the skin starts to char slightly, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a platter and serve immediately with sticky rice and crunchy vegetables.
