These mind-altering wings are just one example of the wide-ranging, irreverent, and profoundly irresistible dishes from San Antonio's Hot Joy. Their funky flavor comes from the fish sauce and crab paste in the glossy caramel that lacquers the wings, a combo that riffs on more a traditional Vietnamese approach. If you cannot find crab paste (the jarred condiment is often stocked at Asian markets) use the shrimp version instead.
