Yield: 19 mid wings for 4 adults

Ingredients

700g chicken mid wings, about 19 pcs

Marinades

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper powder

1 tsp low salt light soya sauce

1/2 tsp fish sauce

1 tsp chopped ginger

1 tsp chopped garlic

2 tsp chopped lemongrass

1 tbsp dark brown sugar

2 tsp honey

Glaze

1 tbsp remaining marinade collected 

1 tbsp honey

1/2 tsp fish sauce

Juice from 2 limes

Garnish

Chopped red chili

Cut green scallion

Cut coriander leaf

Direction

1. Rinse and drain chicken wings.

2. Add in marinades and mix well. 

3. Cover with food wrap and allow the wings to marinate for 1/2 to 2 hours, or longer in the fridge. The longer the marinating time, the better would be the taste of the wings.

4. Arrange the wings in a single layer over a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

5. Bake the wings in a preheated oven at 180 degree Celsius for 20 minutes.

6. While waiting for the wings to bake, prepare the glazing sauce.

7. Brush the glazing sauce over the wings.

8. Return the wings to the oven and bake for 5 minutes. Repeat step 7 and 8 for another one or two rounds, or till you finish the glazing sauce.

9. For the final round, drizzle honey over the wings and spread using a brush.

10. Bake the wings at 200 degree Celsius for 5 minutes. Thereafter, allow the wings to stay in the oven for about 1/2 an hour to allow the remnant heat melts the fat under the skin.

11. Garnish the wings with chili, green scallion and coriander leaf. If you prefer a stronger lime taste, you may squeeze some lime juice over the wings before serving.

Serve warm :)
