Why This Recipe Works

To keep our baked wings crispy we didn't want to weigh them down with heavy sauces. Instead, we kept the sauces light-bodied yet assertive. And they're easy to make, too.

Instructions

  1. Combine sugar, lime juice, oil, pepper flakes, and garlic in small saucepan; bring to simmer over medium heat. Cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Off heat, stir in fish sauce. Transfer to large bowl.
