Vietnamese Style Wings and Drummies!

My family and I love hot wings and drumsticks but was craving something with more of a zing so I have the ultimate recipe for Vietnamese Style Wings and Drummies. It turned out to be heaven in your mouth! The sweetness from the caramelization, the salty from the fish sauce, and a kick of spice from the siracha. A savory combination wrapped into one!

Vietnamese Style Wings and Drummies

Ingredients:
3 pounds of chicken wings and drumsticks (combined)
1/2 cup fish sauce
1/4 cup water
3 cloves of garlic (sliced and mashed)
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons Siracha (add more if you like more heat)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons chopped scallion

In a large bowl mix the fish sauce, water, mashed garlic, brown sugar, black pepper, siracha, and flour. Add your wings and drumsticks and toss to coat. Refrigerate for 2 hours. Make sure you toss the wings and drumsticks in the mixture after the first hour to ensure all the flavors are infusing.
Heat oven to 400'. You can fry or grill but I chose to bake. I covered a baking sheet with foil and lightly sprayed with cooking spray. Lightly tap each wing and drumstick on a paper towel then set on the baking sheet. Keep the marinate. Bake your chicken for approximately 45 to minutes or until done. Turn your wings and drumsticks over about half way through the baking process.
While your chicken is baking, put your left over marinade in a small sauce pan and cook on medium heat stirring occasionally. Your marinade will turn into a thick beautiful caramel sauce. In a large bowl, add your baked wings, drumsticks, cooked marinade and toss. Set on a platter or plate and garnish with chopped scallion. This is perfect with your favorite ranch or blue cheese dipping sauce but I love these just by themselves. ♡

Enjoy!
