My version of Asian chicken wings is AMAZING!! Honestly, I impressed myself with these. I knew I had a good sauce but you’ll probably want to make a little more of this sauce and save it for a rainy day. You can use it on anything you want to eat chicken, vegan food, seafood or Chinese takeout etc.
Lemongrass Hoisin Sauce Chicken Wings
Cooking Tips:
You can season the wings and marinate overnight.
Can you make it ahead?
Fridge: Wings: Place in an airtight container in the fridge for 7 days max.
Sauce: Sauce can be made a day or two in advance. After sauce cools off, place in an airtight container in the fridge for 7 days max.
Reheating: Wings: Pop in a 350-degree oven for 10-15 minutes.
Sauce: Turn on heat to medium, add all ingredients in a small or medium saucepan, and cook until mixture starts to boil. About 10 minutes or less. *Depends on how much you’re reheating

I found it at my local grocery store. If you cannot find it regular hoisin sauce will work.
