I've been using a slurry of rice flour and Mae Ploy curry pastes as
a marinade chicken wings for a while now. I'll try adding fish
sauce and extra garlic.

The Mae Ploy curry pastes have gotten really cheap here - only
$1.99 for a 14oz tub. SOi you can be generous with the marinade
ingredients. And they have all the basic thai seasonings already in
them. I just wish they weren't so salty - which is why I'd be
worried about the fish sauce.
