FAQs
1. Can I marinate the chicken wings overnight?
Absolutely! Marinating overnight allows the flavors to penetrate the chicken more deeply, resulting in even more tender and flavorful wings.
2. What can I substitute for fish sauce if I don't have any?
Soy sauce can be a good substitute, but it won't give you the exact same umami flavor. You can also try a combination of soy sauce and a dash of Worcestershire sauce.
