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.
