GARLIC-GINGER CHICKEN WINGS



Garlic-Ginger Chicken Wings image

My mom lives in a small town in western New York, called Clifton Springs. Whenever I go home to visit, I usually indulge in some Buffalo chicken wings from a place called Emerson's. They have two flavors of wings; Buffalo-style, and sweet and sour. I came up with what turned out to be a deliciously sticky, ginger and garlic glaze. I really hope you give these a try.

Categories     Appetizers and Snacks     Spicy

Time 1h15m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 12

cooking spray
5 pounds chicken wings, separated at joints, tips discarded
salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 tablespoons hot sauce (such as Frank's Red Hot ®)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 crushed garlic cloves
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger root
1 tablespoon Asian chile pepper sauce
½ cup rice vinegar
½ cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon soy sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with aluminum foil; grease the foil with cooking spray.
  • Place the chicken in a large mixing bowl. Season with salt, pepper, and hot sauce. Add the vegetable oil; toss to coat.
  • Place the flour and wings in a large, food-safe plastic bag. Hold the bag closed tightly, and shake to coat the wings entirely with the flour; no wet spots should remain. Arrange the wings on the prepared baking sheets, making sure none of the pieces are touching one another. Spray wings with additional cooking spray
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, turn all the wings, and return to the oven to cook until crispy and no longer pink in the center, about 30 minutes more.
  • Whisk together the garlic, ginger, chili paste, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and soy sauce in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil and immediately remove from heat.
  • Put about half the wings in a large mixing bowl. Pour about half the sauce over the wings. Toss the wings with tongs to coat evenly; transfer to a tray and allow to sit about 5 minutes to allow the sauce to soak into the wings before serving. Repeat with remaining wings and sauce.

Categories     appetizer

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 as an appetizer

Number Of Ingredients 12

16 whole chicken wings, flap segments removed and saved for stock
1/3 cup sake
1/3 cup soy sauce
4 tablespoons brown sugar (see Cook's Note)
3 tablespoons mirin
3 tablespoons oyster sauce
4 large thin slices fresh ginger
2 cloves star anise
1 dried hot chile
1 cinnamon stick
Shaved green onions, for garnish
Sesame seeds, for garnish

Steps:

  • Place a 14-inch nonstick saute pan over high heat. Add the chicken and dry-sear to lightly brown the chicken. Add the sake, soy sauce, 1/3 cup water, brown sugar, mirin, oyster sauce, ginger, star anise, dried chile and cinnamon stick and bring to a simmer. Cook, covered, about 12 minutes.
  • Uncover and simmer until the pan is almost dry, tossing frequently to coat the wings, 10 to 12 minutes. Skim off the fat if you like, and serve, garnishing with scallion shavings and sesame seeds. I like to emulsify the chicken fat into the sauce by turning up the heat at the last minute to boil the fat into the other liquids.

GRANDMOTHER'S CHINESE CHICKEN WINGS



Grandmother's Chinese Chicken Wings image

My daughter asks for Chinese chicken wings for Christmas and for her birthday. The only thing I changed was to use fish sauce instead of oyster sauce(I don't do shellfish). I saw this on The Best Thing I Ever Made(by Andrew Zimmern, episode: Tasty Travels) and posted it to make for her. Andrew said the first time he tasted this dish was in Hong Kong and it took him 20 years to get the recipe. For his video on how to make, look here=http://andrewzimmern.com/2012/11/16/the-best-thing-i-ever-made-grandmas-chinese-chicken-wings/

Provided by Sharon123

Categories     Chicken

Time 45m

Yield 4-6 appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 12

16 whole chicken wings, flap segments removed and saved for stock
1/3 cup sake
1/3 cup soy sauce
4 tablespoons brown sugar (If you like it sweeter, add more. You can check the flavor of the sauce at any time and I encourage )
2 -3 tablespoons mirin
3 tablespoons fish sauce (originally oyster sauce-can try with hoisin sauce)
4 large thin slices fresh ginger
1 -2 cloves star anise
1 dried hot chili pepper
1 cinnamon stick
shaved green onion, for garnish (julienne cut)
sesame seeds, for garnish

Steps:

  • Place a 14-inch nonstick saute pan over high heat. Add the chicken and dry-sear to lightly brown the chicken.
  • Add the sake, soy sauce, 1/3 cup water, brown sugar, mirin, hoisin sauce, ginger, star anise, dried chile and cinnamon stick and bring to a simmer.
  • Cook, covered, about 12 minutes.
  • Uncover and simmer until the pan is almost dry, tossing frequently to coat the wings, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Skim off the fat if you like(not recommended), and serve, garnishing with scallion shavings and sesame seeds. Andrew likes to emulsify the chicken fat into the sauce by turning up the heat at the last minute to boil the fat into the other liquids.

Tips:

- To achieve crispy wings, pat them dry with paper towels before cooking. This will help remove excess moisture and allow the skin to crisp up. - Use a combination of baking powder and cornstarch to coat the wings. This will help create a crispy crust. - Bake the wings in a single layer on a baking sheet. This will ensure that they cook evenly. - Flip the wings halfway through cooking to ensure that they cook evenly on both sides. - To make sure the wings are cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that they have reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). - Serve the wings with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular options include ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, and honey mustard.

Conclusion:

Grandma's Chicken Wings are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties or game day gatherings. With just a few simple ingredients and steps, you can create crispy, flavorful wings that everyone will love. So next time you are looking for a crowd-pleasing dish, give Grandma's Chicken Wings a try. You won't be disappointed!
