Instructions for Making Tamarind Chicken Wings
Step 1: Preparing the Ingredients

Clean the chicken wings and marinate the ingredients
Clean the chicken wings, cut into pieces, and marinate with 2 teaspoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of pepper, and 1 teaspoon of fish sauce for about 45 minutes.
Make tamarind sauce: If using dried tamarind, soak in hot water, then strain to get the juice. If using fresh tamarind, boil until soft, mash, then strain to remove the pulp.
Chop onions and peel and mince garlic.
Step 2: Coating and Frying the Chicken Wings

Coat the chicken wings with frying flour
Roll the marinated chicken wings in the frying flour.

Fry the chicken wings until golden.
Next, fry the chicken wings in hot oil until the surface turns slightly golden, then remove and place on a plate lined with paper towels.
Step 3: Preparing the Tamarind Sauce
Mix the tamarind sauce mixture: tamarind juice, sugar, salt, fish sauce, chili paste, adjusting to achieve a balanced sour, spicy, salty, and sweet taste according to your family's preference.
Step 4: Making Tamarind Chicken Wings

Heat the tamarind sauce mixture
Place a pan on the stove, add cooking oil, and heat until hot. When the oil is hot, add chopped onions and garlic and sauté until fragrant. Then, pour the tamarind sauce mixture into the pan, increase the heat, and stir well (adjust seasoning to taste).

Add the chicken wings to the tamarind sauce
Once the tamarind sauce starts boiling, add the chicken wings and mix well to coat them in the sauce.
Continue cooking over high heat until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the wings evenly, then turn off the heat and transfer to a serving plate.
