Vietnamese fish sauce chicken wings !
This dish isnāt for the faint hearted!!! Not the taste or heat from the chilliesā¦ā¦but the smell of fish sauce! The fermented fish which is how the sauce is created really causes the kitchen to have a lasting strong smell!! If you can get over the smell, this is quite a nice tasting and cheap…
š¶ļøChicken Vindaloo…..potential stingerš¶ļø
