The other night I made a pretty decent green curry. And I love chicken wings. I mean I love chicken wings more than I love green curry. Which is alot.
And since I have half a bag of the green curry paste left to use up, I thought I would try and combine the two. I started with a marinade and then made a reduction to toss the wings in after.
I have to admit, these were killer. So much flavour, salty (may be a bit too salty for some, but just cut down on the fish sauce), crispy and great with the dip. The only thing wrong? Not enough heat. Which was kind of odd, seeing as how I used the same paste in the chicken curry and that packed quite a punch. I think next time, because, oh yes, there will be a next time, I will add some chili pepper or hot sauce to give it some oomph.
