1 lb (450 g) whole chicken wings
1 stalk lemongrass, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 shallots, finely chopped
3 tbsp (45 ml) fish sauce
2 tbsp (30 ml) soy sauce
1 tbsp (15 g) brown sugar
1 tsp ground black pepper
2 tbsp (30 ml) lime juice
2 Thai chili peppers, finely chopped (optional)
Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

1. **Prepare the Marinade**: In a large bowl, combine the lemongrass, garlic, shallots, fish sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, black pepper, lime juice, and Thai chili peppers. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved.

2. **Marinate the Chicken Wings**: Add the chicken wings to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer to a resealable plastic bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to permeate the meat.

3. **Prepare the Grill**: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Oil the grates lightly to prevent sticking.

4. **Grill the Wings**: Remove the wings from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Place the wings on the grill and cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skin is crispy and the chicken is cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

5. **Serve**: Transfer the grilled wings to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges for squeezing over the wings. Enjoy!
