Gà Roti (Vietnamese Caramel Chicken Wings)

Instructions

1. 1In a medium bowl, combine the 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon fish sauce, 3 tablespoons sugar, 3 cloves minced garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
2. 2Add the about 910 g chicken wings to the bowl with the marinade. Toss them well to make sure each wing is completely coated. Let the chicken wings marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or longer if you have time.
3. 3Place a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the 2 tablespoons vegetable oil and let it heat up until it shimmers, about 1-2 minutes.
4. 4Carefully add the marinated chicken wings to the hot skillet in a single layer, trying not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, until they are browned all over.
5. 5Pour the remaining marinade from the bowl into the skillet with the chicken wings. Add the 1/4 cup water.
6. 6Bring the liquid in the skillet to a simmer. Once simmering, reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook for 20-25 minutes. The chicken wings are done when they are cooked through (internal temperature reaches 74°C or 74°C) and the sauce has thickened into a sticky, caramel glaze that coats the wings.
7. 7Serve the Gà Roti hot.
