Vietnamese Fried Chicken Wings

Step 1

Add chicken wings, buttermilk, fish sauce, white pepper, salt, and garlic to a large bowl. Use your hands to ensure the wings are coated in the buttermilk and seasonings. Cover with aluminum foil and let it marinate in the fridge overnight.

Step 2

The next day, line a sheet pan with parchment paper and add the corn starch to a bowl. Coat each chicken wing with corn starch and set them on the sheet pan.

Step 3

Heat vegetable oil in a Dutch oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Use a candy thermometer to help keep the temperature consistent throughout the frying process.

Step 4

Fry chicken wings for 5-7 minutes until golden. Make sure to fry in batches, so you don’t crowd the pan. After frying, put them on paper towels to soak up excess oil.

Step 5

Combine all the ingredients for the glaze and brush it on the wings.

Step 6

Top with minced cilantro and serve.
