    • 4 tbsp Asian fish sauce

    2. Then cut the chicken wings in half, discarding the tips, and toss the chicken in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (overnight would be even better), tossing now and again.
    3. When ready, preheat the oven to 200°C fan forced (220°C normal).
    4. Transfer the chicken with any marinade to a baking tray, adding a little more oil if needed, and cook in the oven for 25-30 mins, turning now and again.
    5. Serve the chicken sprinkled with chopped peanuts and lime wedges on the side.
