Ingredients

4 tablespoons light soy sauce (low sodium)
4 tablespoons fish sauce
4 tablespoons vegetable or peanut oil
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons finely minced ginger
2 tablespoons finely minced lemongrass
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 cup sake or Shaoxing wine
3 tablespoons honey
2.5-3 pounds chicken wingettes (wings separated at the joint into two sections)
1 scallion, thinly sliced (optional)
2 tablespoons cilantro, roughly chopped (optional)
1 lime, cut in wedges

Directions

1

Whisk the first 10 ingredients together in a large bowl or deep baking dish. Add the chicken wings and toss, so they're well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for several hours, or preferably overnight, tossing a couple of times.
2

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lift wings out of the marinade (reserving it) and arrange them on a foil lined shallow baking pan, large enough so they don't touch. Bake for 45 minutes.
3

While the wings are in the oven, put about 3/4 cup of the reserved marinade in a pan and bring it to a boil. Whisk in the honey and simmer about 10 minutes, until it reduces to a glaze.
4

Remove the wings from the oven, spoon the glaze over them and put back in for about another 10-15 minutes, basting once, until they're well browned, but not burnt.
5

Pile them onto a serving plate and, if desired, sprinkle with chopped scallion and/or cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.
