Equipment

  • Ninja Woodfire Grill (air crisp setting)
  • Gallon freezer zip-top bag
  • Strainer
  • Mixing bowls
  • Saucepan
  • Cooking oil spritzer
  • Tongs

Ingredients

Marinade:

  • ½ cup fish sauce
  • ½ cup warm water
  • ½ cup white sugar

Sauce:

  • ½ cup fish sauce
  • ½ cup warm water
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • 2 teaspoon black pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup minced garlic
  • 3 tablespoon Diced Chili Peppers Optional

Wings:

  • 3.5 lbs Chicken wings flats and drumettes, separated
  • ½ cup rice flour
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • 3 Green onions Diced
  • 1 Lime Cut into wedges

Instructions

Make the Marinade

  • Mix ½ cup fish sauce, ½ cup warm water, ½ cup sugar, 1–2 teaspoon black pepper, and ¼ cup minced garlic until the sugar is dissolved.

Marinate the Wings

  • Separate wing flats and drumettes.
  • Place wings in a gallon zip-top bag.
  • Pour marinade over wings, remove excess air, and seal.
  • Massage the bag to distribute marinade evenly.
  • Refrigerate overnight (don’t skip this step!).

Drain & Bread the Wings

  • Strain the wings and let them drain well.
  • Mix ½ cup rice flour and ¼ cup cornstarch in a bowl.
  • Toss wings in the dry mix — no need for milk or egg wash.

Cook in the Woodfire

  • Fill your Ninja Woodfire with pellets (Don't forget to do the Dad Shake!) and set it to Air crisp/Woodfire/400°F (204°C).
  • When the Woodfire Says "Add Food", place wings in the basket and spray them with oil. Cook for about 30 minutes, flipping & spraying with oil every 6 minutes.

Make the Sauce

  • In a saucepan, combine:
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ cup fish sauce
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup minced garlic
  • Boil and reduce until thick and syrupy (12–15 minutes).
  • Do not reuse marinade from the raw wings.

Sauce and Serve

  • Toss cooked wings lightly in the sauce (a little goes a long way!).
  • Garnish with green onions and lime wedges.
