Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Caramel (recipe follows)
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons nam pla (Thai fish sauce)
2 garlic cloves, sliced
4 shallots, sliced
2 1/2 pounds chicken wings
One 1-inch piece fresh ginger, julienned
2 teaspoons cracked black peppercorns, plus more for garnish
6 sprigs fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 450°F.
  • 2. To make the caramel: Put the sugar in an oven-proof casserole and add just enough water to wet it, about 1 tablespoon. Shake the pan to distribute the sugar and water and caramelize over medium heat, shaking the pan occasionally. The sugar will gradually liquefy and darken; when it becomes golden brown, remove from the heat.
  • 3. Carefully add the nam pla (it may spatter; hold the pan at arm's length), then return to the heat. Add the garlic and shallots and cook, stirring, until softened.
  • 4. Add the chicken wings and coat with the sauce. Gently stir in the ginger and pepper and continue stirring until the chicken browns slightly, about 4 minutes. Cover and cook for 7 minutes, then transfer to the oven and cook for 45 minutes.
  • 5. Remove the chicken wings, which should now be a rich caramel color, garnish with cilantro and cracked black pepper, and serve.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken wings turned out dry and tough. The sauce was good, though.

I'm not a huge fan of ginger, but I really liked these chicken wings. The sauce is sweet and savory, and the chicken is cooked perfectly.

The chicken wings were a bit too sweet for my taste, but the sauce was good. I think I'll try making them again with a different recipe.

Not bad! The chicken was crispy and the sauce was flavorful. I would have liked a little more heat, but that's just my personal preference.

These chicken wings were finger-licking good! The ginger and caramel sauce was the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. I'll definitely be making these again.
