与Jaew烤鸡翅膀

Team Flats ALL DAY. I'm not sure what match the first reviewer was using, but this recipe is fine as is. I am very sensitive to salty things and these wings were not salty to me. I halfed this recipe and only made 15 wings but used the same ratios for the Jaew and the marinade. I upped the lime juice in the jaew to 1/4 cup because when I tasted it, that's what I liked, but everything else remained the same. I'd make this again, but next time bring chicken legs and thighs to the party.

So we didn’t want to make that many wings (30!) and bought 1 3/4 pounds which ends up being right about 2/3 the amount called for in the recipe. Given that we then cut all of the ingredients in the wing marinade down to 2/3. Now, keep in mind we like well salted and will seasoned food (our friends and family always give us grief about the salt that we had to things thinking that we are overdoing it) but this was beyond salty. My guess is that most people who would make this recipe as written couldn’t even eat the wings they were so salty. Maybe we put too much of the marinade on while basting them on the grill, however my recommendation would be to NOT use golden mountain sauce (which has 1260 mg of sodium per tablespoon) and instead use Kikkoman less sodium soy sauce which is only 575 mg per tablespoon. Even making that change I have a feeling this is going to be too salty for most people. Perhaps what should be done is no basting whatsoever once the wings are on the grill because basting makes them too salty, yet highly flavorful. We already had homemade spicy nuoc cham (which is a Vietnamese dipping sauce that’s extremely similar to what was recommended here) in our frig so we used that instead of the recipe’s dipping sauce. That really helped reduce the saltiness when dipping them in it by washing off some of the cooked on saltiness from the marinade.
Good luck. In the future I’ll just stick to an Asian dry rub, grill the wings and use our homemade nuoc cham. This recipe isn’t worth trying in my opinion. There are much better spicy Asian wing recipes out there.
