ByFood: Lemongrass and Garlic Marinated Chicken Wings

Banana, my buddy, whatsapp messaged one fine day and showed me a picture of chicken wings that she cooked. I thought it was bbq grilled but she told me that it was baked so it should be healthier. I am sure that baby Chloe happily tasted some of that too.

Anyway, Banana told me to try cooking it but the problem was that I didn't have an oven, and still don't. It's not easy for me to organize a bbq just to eat grilled chicken wings either. So I tried hard to think of a way. Finally did it, the marinade was good but the meat was not as charred looking as Banana's. Hereby I'm sharing it here with everyone who's reading this post, maybe some of you can come up with your own secret method too. :)

No recipe... :S

Banana's Baked Chicken Wings Recipe
Ingredients:
1 lb Chicken Wings
Marinade
3 tbsps Fish Sauce
1 tbsp Honey
2 tbsp Lemon Grass (grate white portion, remaining smashed)
5 cloves Garlic (smashed)
1/4 tbsp Black Pepper
Method:
1. Mix the marinade ingredients and chicken wings together. Keep inside the fridge for at least 3 hours or best overnight.
2. If the drumlets are too big, pierce the meat a little with knife.
3. Drizzle the baking tray with a little olive oil and place the wings on it.
3. Bake the wings for 15 - 20 minutes at 180 degrees celsius
4. When the wings are cooked, adjust the oven to broiler settings and move the tray to the top section of oven for 2 minutes. This is to give the wings a charred look.
