Chicken Wings In Red Sauce or Thai call “Peek Kai Num-Dang" Chicken wings are good value, abundant, and tasty. I buy them fresh and cheap here in Bangkok from Tesco Lotus Supermarket and the fresh ones are tastier. Wings in general come with the tips already cut off, but if not, just cut them off at the joint. Feathers that are left on the wings can be taken off easily after cooking, or after you pre-boil them.
