How to make them:
1. Brine the chicken wings for 8 hours in the fridge (2 tbsp salt and 1 cup of water)
2. Mix all of the ingredients (sans wings, arrowroot starch and cilantro) into a container with a lid and place the sauce in the fridge. *Pro tip: remove one outer layer of the lemongrass before slicing
3. When you’re ready to bake the wings, preheat the oven to 400, blot the wings with a paper towel, and evenly space out on a baking sheet. *Optional: before baking, toss wings in arrowroot starch for a little extra crispiness and to help the sauce stick
4. After the wings have baked for 15 minutes, take them out of the oven, toss them in the sauce, and then bake for another 10 minutes
5. Garnish these yummy wings with cilantro and enjoy!!!!
