Vietnamese Golden Chicken Wings

  3.8 – 31 reviews  • Chicken

The indulgent rich brownie filling in the sweet and salty pretzel crust is drizzled with caramel and topped with a dollop of cream. It’s simple to create yet stunning to serve.

Jordan Alexander
Super disappointing. No real flavor. Boring. Mild flavor in sauce. Really up the chili sauce amount for bl
Nicholas Larson
I didn’t think that these had much of a flavor, but the flavor that was present wasn’t very tasty. I just marinated them for about three hours though so maybe that was the reason. I didn’t add extra salt and felt that they were salty enough. Won’t make again.

These wings were awesome … Crispy and so full of flavor… Will definitely make for company.
Mr. Dustin Pierce
fish sauce and soy sauce overpowered it with saltiness

These wings were the best that I have had or made. After reading a lot of the reviews I made several slight changes to the original recipe. I used low sodium soy sauce instead of the regular soy sauce. I omitted the teaspoon of salt and increased temperature to 425 degrees. I made two trays of the wings doubling the original recipe. Two teenagers and four adults were looking for more wings. This recipe is a keeper! Sammamish Guy

This was a bit too salty for my taste, even without adding the extra tsp of unnecessary salt. I actually used three large boneless chicken breasts, cut into 3-4 pieces each, instead of wings. I also added some pineapple chunks during the last 15 minutes of cooking, so the saltiness was cut with something sweet, but the result was still just okay. I doubt I’ll be making this again.

I just made this yesterday for a party. They are very good. I did take the advice of another reviewer and add another 10 min to the cooking time (and increase the cooking temp for those last 10 min to 450 degrees). While they turned more golden and we’re still very juicy they weren’t crispy. Broiling them for a short time may do the trick for that. I made the recipe with ingredients, as is (except I did use low-sodium soy sauce since that was what I had on hand) and didn’t think it was too salty. I did marinate it in a freezer bag for 24 hours flipping the bag every few hours. Great Asian flavor!

My daughter had to make a recipe as part of her book review project at school. We chose this one and it was a hit. The high-school kids loved as well as our own family. I have since made it for parties and it is a hit with our friends as well.

Steven Lewis
This was fantastic! I added a little Sriracha to my marinade, then added an additional 10 minutes of cooking time at 450.
Natalie Brooks
Overall the underlying flavor was good, but this chicken was WAY too salty. If you try this one OMIT the salt.
Michael Lopez
Made these for our Book Club this past week. It was a HUGE hit. I tweaked it a bit by using Low Sodium Soy Sauce since Fish Sauce tends to be salty anyway. I also added about 1 tbsl. of fresh chopped ginger. After cooking in the oven, I put it on broil to crisp them a bit, sprinkled them with chopped cilantro and they were amazing.
Eugene Carter
It turned out a bit too salty, so I had to add some sugar. I don’t know why mines wasn’t crispy, even though I followed the directions exactly.
Sarah Wilson
Instead of wings, I use drumsticks and 1 whole onion sliced to line the pan and bake everything. The sauce is a little salty with soy sauce and fish sauce so I don’t add the 1/2 t salt.
Molly Roberson
30 minutes wasnt’ enough time to cook them. Took an hour for the crispy effect. But still good nonetheless.
Jesus Bernard
The chicken didn’t come out like the one in the picture but it was still pretty good. But like everyone said its very salty even after I put in 2 scoops of sugar w. a laddle.
Amanda Oconnor
Very good… they were a hit. I had to cook them longer to get them a bit crispy, but excellent flavour.
Patricia Johnson
i liked this a lot. there’s lots of complaints about this being too salty, but eh, i like salty foods. i did omit the salt, added red pepper flakes, and broiled this for the last few minutes to crisp it up
Rebecca Nguyen
do not add fish sauce
Brent Mclaughlin

Ethan Moon
