Recipe by Bostocks
Combine fish sauce, palm sugar, garlic, chilli and soy sauce in a large bowl.
Add chicken wings and toss to coat.
Heat oil in a wok to 170°C or until shimmering.
Drain wings, reserving the marinade, and pat dry with absorbent paper.
Shallow-fry wings in batches, turning occasionally, until golden and cooked through, approx. 10 minutes.
Be careful, hot oil will spit.
Drain on absorbent paper and transfer to a large bowl.
Simmer marinade in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until a light caramel colour, approx. 5 minutes.
Pour onto wings and toss to combine.
