Photo: Vietnamese Lime Chicken Wings Recipe
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup chicken bouillon powder (weird I know, but it works)
- 1/2 cup Vietnamese chili sauce (Sriracha works too)
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup cooking oil
- 1/2 cup pureed shallot (onion works fine too)
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 20 kaffir lime leaves, finely chopped
- 24 whole jumbo chicken wings
- 1 cup cilantro leaves
- 1 cup roasted peanuts, chopped
Directions
Combine the bouillon, chili sauce, honey, oil, shallots, vinegar and lime leaves and whisk together to form a uniform paste. Reserve some paste for brushing, and place the rest in a resealable plastic bag. Toss the chicken wings in the paste in the bag and allow to marinate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Build a hot charcoal fire on one side of the grill. Set the chicken wings on the grill opposite of the hot coal side. Cover the grill and cook until the wings are just about cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes. Rotate the wings halfway through for even cooking.
To finish the wings, brush with the reserved paste and grill directly over hot coals until charred slightly.
Transfer to a platter and top with cilantro leaves and peanuts.

Followed the recipe to a T save for the peanut garnish due to nut allergies in the family. I purchased the Kaffir Lime leaves at whole foods market. I thought maybe the bbq would cook out the harsh taste of the lime leaves raw. The chicken recipe is very good, but I hated the taste of the lime leaves. I should have just used lime zest instead. If you buy the kaffir lime leaves to try and you don't like the raw taste, leave them off, they ruined this recipe for me and we threw what we didn't eat away.

Great recipe! A nice change from usual wings. Didn't have the lime leaves, so I did as others suggested - added grated lime peel & squeezed in fresh lime juice. Fantastic! Nice to leave the wings whole (cut off the tip - much easier to grill & a great way to eat. Super easy recipe & delicious - definately a keeper!
