Ingredients

12 chicken wings
2 tbsp. canola oil
salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/3 c. shiro miso (light yellow)
2 tsp. lime juice
1 tsp. finely grated fresh ginger
1 tsp. Asian fish sauce
1 Thai bird chile
3 tbsp. turbinado or light brown sugar
Cilantro leaves
Lime wedges

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a large bowl, toss wings with oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Transfer to a rack set over a baking sheet. Bake for about 40 minutes, turning wings halfway through, until they are golden, crispy, and cooked through.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine all of remaining ingredients except cilantro and lime. Add 3 tablespoons of water and cook over moderately low heat, whisking frequently, until sugar is dissolved and glaze is smooth and slightly thickened.
Brush glaze all over wings and bake for about 10 minutes longer, until wings are golden brown and sticky. Transfer wings to a platter, garnish with cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
