Vietnamese Fish Sauce Wings

The recipe

Instructions

  1. 1
    Toss the wings with cornstarch, salt and pepper. Heat the oven to 220°C and roast for 25 minutes on a wire rack until golden and crisp.
  2. 2
    While the wings cook, combine fish sauce, sugar, crushed garlic and 2 tablespoons water in a wide pan.
  3. 3
    Bring to a simmer and cook 4 minutes until reduced and syrupy. Add the chilli.
  4. 4
    Tip the hot wings into the pan and toss to coat in the sticky glaze. Cook 1 minute more, tossing constantly.
  5. 5
    Squeeze over lime, scatter with spring onions. Serve immediately — they don't stay crisp for long.
