The tangy dipping sauce from Kris Yenbamroong, chef of the popular Night + Market restaurants in L.A. is great with pretty much any grilled meat. Keep it on heavy rotation this summer.

Preparation

  1. Dipping Sauce

    Step 1

    Grind chiles in spice mill to a fine powder. Mix chile powder, fish sauce, lime juice, sesame seeds, and sugar in a medium bowl to dissolve sugar. Adjust with more sugar or lime juice if needed.

  2. Wings and Assembly

    Step 2

    Prepare grill for medium-high heat. Combine oyster and soy sauces, sugar, oil, and pepper in a large bowl. Add wings; toss to coat. Let sit 20–30 minutes (if allowed to marinate longer, they’ll be too salty). Thread 2 flat pieces onto each skewer on a diagonal, spacing about ½" apart. Grill along with drumettes, turning occasionally, until lightly charred and cooked through, 6–8 minutes. Serve with dipping sauce.
