SOY-BRAISED CHICKEN WINGS



Soy-Braised Chicken Wings image

Dark soy sauce along with regular soy sauce is what gives these wings their rich color. We like to use all flats but a mix with drumettes or whole wings works too.

BRAISED CHICKEN WINGS



Braised Chicken Wings image

I was only cooking for 3 so I did 10 wings cut in half and 5 large ribs chopped in half to make 10 and this perfect for us, so just adjust for how many you are serving. If you wanted to make these for 4 and were not making ribs as well I would allow for 3 wings per person, so a total of 12 chopped in half and I would make some stir fried rice to accompany. The sauce ingredients I have listed below would be plenty for the extra chicken. If serving with other asian dishes 12 wings would be about right for 6 people and this would also be the case if serving as a stater with no rice. It really just depends in appetites so adjust accordingly.

BEER BRAISED SZECHUAN CHICKEN WINGS

Provided by Food Network

Time 2h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 pounds chicken wings
1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
1 teaspoon Szechuan peppercorns, dry toasted until fragrant
5 dried red chiles, crushed
1 bunch scallions, whites sliced thinly across, greens in 2-inch pieces
1 star anise
1/4 cup rice vinegar
2 bottles ale beer, such as Bass or Sam Adams Summer Ale
4 tablespoons butter
50/50 cornstarch-all-purpose flour mixture, for dusting
Vegetable oil, for frying

Steps:

  • In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, combine the wings, soy sauce, sugar, garlic, ginger, five-spice, Szechuan peppercorns, dried chiles, scallion greens (reserve the sliced whites for garnish) and star anise. Mix all of the ingredients until well combined. You may marinate the wings overnight for a deeper flavor, if you wish.
  • Add the rice vinegar and beer to the pot. Bring the pot up to a boil over high heat, and then lower the heat to a rolling simmer. Braise the wings, uncovered, until they are tender, about 1 hour. Remove the wings from the braise to a sheet tray and refrigerate until cold.
  • Reduce the braise over medium heat until the consistency can thinly coat the back of a spoon. Strain the braising liquid through a fine mesh sieve, discarding the solids. Whisk in the butter to the glaze. Check for seasoning.
  • Preheat the deep-frying oil in a large pot to 375 degrees F.
  • Pat the chilled chicken wings dry, and then toss to coat in the cornstarch-flour mixture, shaking off any excess flour.
  • Deep-fry the wings in small batches, being careful to not overcrowd the pot, until dark brown and crispy, about 3 minutes. Drain the wings from the oil into a large bowl, adding the spicy beer glaze and tossing until well coated. Serve the wings hot garnished with the sliced scallion whites.

BRAISED CHICKEN WINGS IN BEAN SAUCE



Braised Chicken Wings in Bean Sauce image

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, main course

Time 30m

Yield 3 to 4 main-dish servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 pounds chicken wings, meaty sections preferred
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons ground-bean sauce or hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce, or to taste
1 tablespoon sugar (omit if using hoisin sauce)
1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
Cilantro leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Set a wok or a large pan over high heat. When the pan is hot, after about 1 minute, add the oil and rotate the pan to spread. When the oil is hot, add the chicken-wing sections and stir occasionally until lightly browned all over, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in the garlic; cook until soft, about 15 seconds. Add 1 1/2 cups water, the bean sauce, soy sauce, sugar and pepper. Bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat, cover and simmer, turning occasionally, until the meat is tender when pierced, 35 to 45 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, lift out the wings and place on a serving dish; cover to keep warm. Skim off and discard the fat from the pan juices. Measure the juices. If more than about 1 cup, boil, uncovered, over high heat until reduced to that amount. If less than about 1 cup, add water to make that amount and bring to a boil. Pour the pan juices over the wings, and garnish with the cilantro.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken wings: For the best results, use fresh, plump chicken wings. Avoid wings that are frozen or have any signs of spoilage.
  • Dry the chicken wings thoroughly: Before cooking the wings, pat them dry with paper towels. This will help the seasonings stick to the wings and prevent them from becoming soggy.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: Marinating the wings in a flavorful mixture of spices, herbs, and liquids will help to infuse them with flavor. Be sure to marinate the wings for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Cook the wings over low heat: Braising is a low-and-slow cooking method that allows the wings to cook evenly and become fall-off-the-bone tender. Cook the wings over low heat for at least 1 hour, or until they are cooked through.
  • Baste the wings regularly: Basting the wings with the braising liquid during cooking will help to keep them moist and flavorful. Baste the wings every 20-30 minutes.
  • Serve the wings hot: Braised chicken wings are best served hot, straight out of the oven. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce, such as barbecue sauce, honey mustard, or ranch dressing.

Conclusion:

Braised chicken wings are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and tender dish that will be enjoyed by everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a delicious and comforting meal, give braised chicken wings a try.
