This is a cut and paste from Cindy's old post
I thought I'd post my wife's hot wing recipe. I had her type this up to post on another forum a while back. I found it and sharing it here. These can be done in the oven at 350 or on the grill or bbq'd. Whatever works for you.
here is my bastardization of Thai/ Viet spicy lemon grass wings (beware lots of chopping involved!!)
5 lbs. chicken wings
1 whole hand of Ginger, young is better, and Thai ginger (real hot) is even better if you can find it. Chope into tiny slivers , about 1/4" x 1" is acceptable, but smaller is better.
1 huge garlic clove, mince the whole thing, if you like garlic, chop 2!
fish sauce (yes you have to use this=P lol) this is the *salt* and you will not salt at all beyond this so use at least 1/4 cup, i use more, and YES the stink cooks off! (also called shrimp sauce, or fermented fish sauce...STOP THAT GAGGING DAMMIT!)
about 1/2 cup oyster sauce
now here is the best part!!!
6 fat stalks of lemon grass, you have to chop these down to the size of glitter, (askin bear what a better refference fer da mens would be)
ok he says ultra fine chop...
I HAVE seen in some asian markets where some ambitious asian ladies have prechopped and bottled the dry lemongrasses...get em if they exist where you live and save the chop time.
this will take you an hour at least and i chop dozens at a time and freeze them myself so that i dont have to take the time everytime i want spicy lemon grass flavor. in my freezer bag is lemon grass, teensy diced thai chilis, minced garlic, and ginger slivers just sos ya know how I do it)
2 huge heaping satay sauce dolops (also called Tuong Ot and ground chili with fried garlic, its a deep burgandy color, usually small bottles)
about 1/3 cup sriracha HOT chili sauce, this is not Mae ploy, it isnt sweet, and neither are these wings=) (also called Tuong ot sriracha)
a handfull of Thai chillis chopped fine, these are those leetle buggers that look like the xmas tree lights...yummy! if you substitute chilis you will get a different taste, but do what you like there.
now you grab a beer or 6 cause they have to marinate all night!!
I like these crispy, but they are good and hot and tasty either way.
Grill indirect or smoke till done
