Sticky Stove Top Chicken Wings

• total time: 16 minutes

Ingredients

18 chicken wings (drums and flats, about 2 lbs)

3 tbsp fish sauce

2 tbsp soy sauce

3 tbsp brown sugar (or palm sugar)

3-4 Thai chilies, finely chopped (THAI CHILIES ARE VERY SPICY !! I added 8 but if you're not good with spice you should not be adding any !! Adjust this based on your spice tolerance)

5 cloves garlic, minced

1 small shallot, thinly sliced (optional)

3 tbsp water

Neutral oil or cooking spray

Black pepper, to taste

Lime wedges (for serving)

Cilantro or green onions, for garnish

salt to your liking

Directions

Sear the Wings

Heat a large nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium heat with a bit of oil or cooking spray

Sear wings in batches (avoid overcrowding) until golden on both sides (~3–4 min per side)

Add all seasoning and sauce ingredients and mix to coat.

Then cover and cook on medium-low for 10–15 minutes, flipping occasionally, until fully cooked.
