  • ½ cup oyster sauce
  • ½ cup Thai thin soy sauce

  2. 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 1/2" apart. Grill along with drumettes, turning occasionally, until lightly charred and cooked through, 6-8 minutes. Serve with dipping sauce.
