Football season is coming up, so here’s another wing recipe I’ve recently declared as worthy of a spot on the practice squad.
Chicken wings seasoned with spices and stuff
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon Maggi®
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon rice wine
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon sambal/chili garlic sauce
- Juice of half lime
Whisk the above ingredients. Pour over:
1 1/2 pounds chicken wings
To that add:
- 6 minced cloves of garlic
- 1 small knob finely minced (or smashed) ginger
- 2 stalks green onion, chopped
- 1 tablespoon turmeric
- 1 1/2 teaspoons five spice powder
- 1 teaspoon ground dried galangal, dried ginger, dried lemongrass, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, fennel seeds, szechuan peppercorns*
*I just happened to have an OXO grinder that I fill with such things. Lucky me.
Mix everything well. Marinade for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Fire up the charcoal grill.
Grill.
As lead griller at this weekend’s fantasy football draft, I’m going to give this one a try. Thanks.
Just wondering where the best place to get the items in the OXO grinder might be? I’m willing to go wherever necessary to try out this recipe. Thanks!
Hi Ann – try any Vietnamese or Chinese market. They will have a section (usually) of dried herbs and spices (many times paired with medicinal herb kits).
If you’re in Portland: Hong Phat market on NE Prescott/99th, Fubonn on SE 82nd are two good places to definitely find these things.
Also, Penzey’s Spices, which is not an Asian market, will be able to provide these components. They have a storefront on far SE 82nd, and a online store as well.
Limbo on SE 39th/Holgate in Portland will probably be able to supply you with many of the individual components as well, in addition to having good produce and being adjacent to a Trader Joes.
