Cambodian Wings

DeeCooks's Note:

Khmer Krom baked chicken wings with sweet and spicy sauce is another delicious variation on some of the Cambodian recipes I received from students....NEW note-- as for being authentic or "really" Cambodian, all I can tell you is that I've had similar chicken at three different students' homes and this was from one student's grandmother. It's pretty good regardless!

I agree with cali love. My husband is cambodian and this is definetly not a cambodian recipe but he enjoyed this dish.

It was well received by all who got to try some. However, one of my friends (who was Cambodian) said he wouldn't have been able to tell it was supposed to be a Cambodian recipe... but still raved it was delish! Go figure.
