Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine fish sauce, brown sugar, crushed garlic, and vegetable oil. Stir well until the sugar is dissolved.
  2. Marinate the Wings: Coat the split chicken wing pieces with half of the marinade and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours.
  3. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) while the wings marinate. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  4. Arrange the Wings: Remove the wings from the fridge and arrange them skin-side up on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes.
  5. Reduce the Marinade: Pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan and heat over medium-low for 5 to 7 minutes until thickened.
  6. Baste for Extra Flavor: Brush the wings with the thickened marinade and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes.
  7. Final Touches and Serve: Remove the wings from the oven, baste them one last time, and garnish with chopped peanuts and cilantro.
