Place chicken wings in a single layer in a shallow dish. Pour fish over chicken wings make sure each one is coated. Marinate for at least 1 hour making sure to flip the chicken halfway through.
-
Once the chicken is marinated, remove it from the fish sauce, place on a large plate and pat dry. You want your chicken as dry as possible because this will help get them crispy.
-
Preheat a skillet over medium heat with ¼ cup avocado oil or enough oil to cover the bottom of the skillet to about ¼ inch in height.
-
While the skillet is preheating, season chicken with the black pepper and kosher salt. Make sure each chicken piece is seasoned.
-
Using a large sieve, start with ¼ cup potato starch and sift it over the chicken making sure each one is coated. Flip chicken and coat the other side with potato starch.
-
Place chicken wings in the sieve. Shake off excess potato starch until chicken has a thin coating of potato starch.
-
Carefully place chicken wings skin side down into the skillet. Shallow fry for 5-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through and deep golden brown. The drummettes may take a bit longer than the flats.
-
When chicken is cooked through, remove and place on a baking rack if you have one or a paper towel lined plate.
-
Remove oil from skillet leaving behind about ½ tablespoon. Place jalapeno slices in the skillet and saute for 5 minutes or until it starts to char.
-
Add in the sliced red Thai chili pepper, green onions, and minced garlic. Saute for another 5 minutes then add the chicken back into the skillet.
-
Toss the chicken with the jalapenos and heat through. Turn heat off, add in the chopped cilantro and toss until well combined.

Serve immediately!
