Vietnamese baked fish sauce wings

First up in this collection of Asian chicken wing recipes for is my personal favourite (also 1 of the 1st recipes I published on my blog :P): Baked Vietnamese Fish sauce Chicken wings! To be honest, these taste best fried then coated with sauce, but in light of staying healthy, the recipe is for baked wings, which comes a close second.

Note: you don't have to marinade the wings in advance so they're great for last minute events!

Tip 1: Don't skip the baking sheet as all that sugar can create a mess on the baking tray.

Tip 2: Although the recipe asks for gula melaka, I usually substitute with brown sugar, as gula melaka is a pain to chop up so I save it for very special occasions! If you have some to use up, you can try this delicious Peranakan pandan kueh dadar recipe.

Another easy-to-make, non-fried poultry recipe is Cantonese soy sauce chicken- note that the recipe takes 2.5 hours (mostly passive cooking) so if you're in a rush, try this quick and easy braised soy sauce chicken that is done in ⅓ the time instead.

Air Fried Teriyaki

Air Fryer Teriyaki Wings

Air Frying is a great way to cook with less oil.

We all tend to overeat during parties or Game Day, so do your health a favour and include some air-fried wing recipes to the menu!

FAQ

How do I bake frozen wings?

If not defrosted, you can still bake them the same way you do regular wings- just pop the frozen wings into the oven for a longer amount of time (at least 50% according to the USDA). Note that if your chicken wings have been frozen as a huge block, it will take much longer to melt them enough that they can be separated on the baking sheet.
Alternatively, if you are able to, leave them in the fridge overnight to defrost first and at room temperature for 20-30minutes before baking (so that the meat is not cold when it enters the oven- this helps to keep it tender and juicy.)

Do you need to marinate chicken wings before cooking?

Marinating usually adds extra flavour to the wings, but they're not a must. I usually don't when I make the Vietnamese baked fish sauce wings in this collection of Asian wing recipes!
