An ode to Pok Pok. The first time I had authentic Thai wings was at Pok Pok Noi in Portland while visiting Chef Adrian Hale of Communal Table. I fell in love! All I could think about for days was how to recreate these awesome wings with one (or two) added ingredients. Here you have it! You’ll never look at wings the same way again, guaranteed!
