- Rotate the chicken wings every 1-2 minutes to build your crispy skin. Repeat this until the internal temperature is 175 degrees in the thickest part of the chicken, the drum legs.
- About 10 minutes in begin to make your sauce by placing a saucepan over medium heat and add in these ingredients, Soy sauce, Thai chili sauce, rice wine vinegar, fish sauce, lime juice, lemongrass, garlic, sesame oil, peanut oil and brown sugar.
