Best 4 Grilled Turmeric And Lemongrass Chicken Wings Recipes

LEMONGRASS CHICKEN

Steps:

• Put the chicken in a large bowl. Add the lemongrass, tamari, oyster sauce, seasoning sauce, soy sauce, sugar, pepper, turmeric, lime leaves and cilantro roots to a blender and blend until combined. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure that the chicken is fully submerged. Let marinate in the refrigerator overnight.
• Preheat a grill to 425 degrees F.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.

LEMONGRASS WINGS

Steps:

• Use a grater such as Microplane to grate the white part of the lemongrass, about 2 tablespoons. Keep the rest of the lemongrass and cut into 4-inch length, use the back of a knife to pound and smash the lemongrass to release its aroma and flavor.
• Rinse the chicken wings with cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Transfer the wings to a big Ziploc bag and add all the ingredients inside. Combine everything well and make sure that the wings are nicely coated with the fish sauce and lemongrass mixture. Let marinate in the fridge overnight.
• Fire up the grill the next day. Grill the wings until they turn golden brown and nicely charred on both sides. Serve immediately.

LEMONGRASS GRILLED CHICKEN WINGS WITH RICE NOODLES

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high and prepare for indirect grilling. On a charcoal grill, bank the coals to one side; on a gas grill, turn off half the burners. Combine the lemongrass, 2 tablespoons fish sauce, the brown sugar, 1 tablespoon each sesame oil, lime juice and water and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved, about 1 minute. Pour into a heatproof bowl; stir in 1 more tablespoon lime juice.
• Toss the wings in a separate bowl with 3 tablespoons of the sauce and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Place on the cooler side of the grill (indirect heat), cover and cook, turning once, until cooked through but not browned, 15 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook and cool the noodles as the label directs. Cut the cucumber into matchsticks. Toss in a colander with a pinch of salt; squeeze to remove the excess liquid. Add to the noodles along with the chile, herbs and remaining 3 tablespoons sesame oil, 2 teaspoons fish sauce and 2 teaspoons lime juice; season with salt and pepper and toss, adding more lime juice to taste.
• Move the wings to direct heat; cook, turning and brushing with some of the remaining sauce, until crisp, 10 more minutes. Transfer to a bowl and toss with the remaining sauce. Serve with the noodles.

MALAYSIAN TURMERIC AND LEMONGRASS CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Combine coconut milk, shallots, garlic, lemongrass, jalapeños, ginger, lime juice, tamarind juice, fish sauce, kosher salt, turmeric, and 1 cup water in a blender. Purée mixture until a smooth marinade forms.
• Place chicken wings in a large baking dish. Pour marinade over; turn wings to coat evenly. Cover chicken and chill overnight.
• Remove chicken from marinade, shaking any excess marinade back into dish. Transfer chicken to a large platter. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes.
• Transfer marinade to a large saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until marinade thickens, 10-15 minutes. Pour half of marinade into a small bowl; set aside for basting chicken while it grills. Keep remaining marinade in saucepan; cover and keep warm until ready to serve the chicken.
• Build a medium fire in a charcoal grill, or heat a gas grill to medium-high. Oil grill grates to prevent sticking. Grill chicken wings, turning every 5 minutes and basting occasionally with marinade in small bowl, until fat is rendered and skin is nicely charred in spots, 30-35 minutes. (The key here is to turn the wings often so the skin doesn't burn.).
• Continue cooking chicken without basting (so it will get crisp) until wings are cooked through, about 10 minutes longer.
• Transfer chicken to a large platter and let it rest for 5 minutes. Squeeze lime wedges over wings. Transfer marinade in saucepan to a small bowl. Serve warm marinade alongside chicken as a dipping sauce.
