Pok Pok Wings Recipe
These tiny wings pack a punch of salty, sweet, umami and spicy all into one little bite. The secret is the fish sauce. You can get fish sauce in Asian grocery stores. While you’re there, be sure to pick up a jar of Naam Phrik Phao (roasted chile paste) or some dried Thai Chilis to make your own Naam Phrik Phao (a recipe is also included below) as well as some rice flour. Asian rice flour tends to be ground finer than the ones you can get at the regular grocery store. If you can’t get finely ground rice flour, just use cornstarch in its place. Finally, keep in mind that you need to marinate these chicken wings overnight so take that into account if you plan on serving them.
