Ingredients
Chicken Wings
5 lbs (whole, separated into flats and drumettes)
Soy Sauce
2 tablespoons (none)
Fish Sauce
2 tablespoons (none)
Garlic
4-5 cloves (minced)
Thai Sweet Chili Sauce
3 tablespoons (none)
Brown Sugar
2 tablespoons (packed)
Lime Juice
1 tablespoon (freshly squeezed)

Instructions
1
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, fish sauce, minced garlic, Thai sweet chili sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, oyster sauce, ketchup, and chopped chili. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved to create a flavorful marinade.
2
Place the chicken wings in a large mixing bowl. Pour the marinade over the wings and toss until they are evenly coated. Allow the wings to marinate for at least 10 minutes; for more depth of flavor, marinate them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
3
Preheat your grill to a medium-high heat. If grilling, place the wings on the grill and cook for about 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally and basting with the reserved marinade from the bowl until they develop a nice glaze and are cooked through.
4
For oven cooking, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange the marinated wings in a single layer in a baking dish. Bake them for 30 minutes.
5
After 30 minutes, switch the oven setting to 'Broil'. Move the wings to a baking sheet and place them on the top rack, broiling for 15-20 minutes. Turn them every 5 minutes, basting once more with the leftover marinade, until they are glossy and crispy.
6
Once done, remove from the oven or grill and allow them to rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy the glazed wings on their own or pair them with a side of rice for a complete meal.
