Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken wings
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed
  • 2 tsp ginger grated
  • 1 tbsp gochugaru korean chili flakes
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp gochujang korean chili paste
  • 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • water to make a smooth paste

Instructions

  • Combine all the ingredients except the chicken. Stir to make a smooth paste.
  • Toss the chicken wings with the marinade to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 1-4 hours.
  • Set your grill up for indirect heat with a drip pan under the cool part of the grill (not over the burner or fire). You want a hot grill. 450-500F hot.
  • If you are using gas, add a little bit of smoke however you like. Soaked wood chips in a foil packet works well.
  • Place the wings over the cool part of the grill above the drip pan. Cook, covered, for about 10 minutes. Flip the wings. 
  • Cook another 10 minutes. Depending on the temperature and size of wings they may be done at this point. You are going for 175-180F internal temp. If they aren't done flip them again and cook until you hit the target temp.
  • Serve with nuoc cham. Garnish with sliced shallots, cilantro, green onions, mint, thin slices of red chili - whatever you like. It's a fun recipe to play with.
