Thai Wings are oh, so good!

Ultimate Thai Chicken Wings

Fresh ingredients make all the difference in this sweet, spicy and tangy Ultimate Thai chicken wings recipe. Don’t skimp here – make sure you have fresh cilantro, lemon grass and limes to get the zing nature intended. We love how these flavors meld together, accentuated by the heat and smoke from the grill.

Ultimate Thai Chicken Wings

  • Chicken wings (can also use legs/thighs)
  • Fresh cilantro
  • 2 sticks lemon grass
  • Zest and juice of 2 limes
  • 1 green chili pepper
  • Coconut oil
  • 2 tablespoons peanut oil
  • 1 Tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 4 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 2 Tbsp cashews

Wash the chicken pieces and place into deep pan. Drizzle with coconut oil. Add the cilantro, lemon grass, lime, pepper, peanut oil, ginger, garlic and cashews and make a paste.

Work the paste with your hands all over the chicken. Cover and set aside for 30 minutes.

Sear the chicken over a medium-high heat grill for about 2 minutes per side. Move to side of grill for indirect cooking for about 40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees. You can use a Back-lighted Thermapen to do this quickly and easily.
