FRIED CHICKEN WINGS, CHINESE TAKEOUT-STYLE



Fried Chicken Wings, Chinese Takeout-Style image

Chinese take-out fried chicken wings are the same as regular old fried chicken, right? Wrong. This fried chicken wings recipe is a special family recipe.

Provided by Bill

Categories     Chinese takeout

Time 2h20m

Number Of Ingredients 13

10 whole chicken wings ((washed and pat dry))
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 egg
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
oil ((for frying))

Steps:

  • Combine chicken wings, black pepper, white pepper, garlic powder, salt, sugar, soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, sesame oil and egg in a large mixing bowl. Mix everything until the wings are well-coated. Next, add the cornstarch and all purpose flour and mix again until the wings are coated.
  • Let the wings marinate for 2 hours at room temperature or in the refrigerator overnight for best results. (If you refrigerate the wings, be sure to let them come to room temperature again before cooking).
  • After marinating, if it looks like there is liquid in the bowl, be sure to mix them thoroughly again. The wings should be well coated with a thin batter-like coating. If it still looks too watery, add a bit more cornstarch and flour.
  • Fill a medium pot about 2/3 of the way up with oil, and heat it to 325 degrees F.
  • Fry the wings in small batches for 5 minutes and remove to a sheet pan lined with paper towels. After all of the wings are fried, return them in batches to the oil and fry again for 3 minutes.
  • Drain on paper towels or a cooling rack, and serve with hot sauce!

Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings, 3 wings per person

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil
12 whole chicken wings, drummers and tips
Salt and pepper
3/4 cup plum sauce
1/2 cup orange juice, eyeball it
2 inches ginger root, peeled
3 tablespoons tamari, dark soy sauce, eyeball it
1/2 to 1 teaspoon red chili flakes, medium heat to extra spicy
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven 400 degrees F.
  • Preheat a large oven safe skillet over high heat with the oil. Liberally season the chicken wings with salt and pepper. Once the skillet is screaming hot add the wings in 1 even layer. Brown the wings for 3 minutes per side. While the wings are browning, assemble the plum glaze: in a small pot over high heat combine the plum sauce, orange juice, ginger root, tamari and hot pepper flakes. Bring up to a simmer and lower the heat, reserving it until the wings are done browning. Remove ginger from glaze. Pour the simmering plum glaze mixture over the browned wings. Place the skillet in the oven and roast for 20 minutes, flipping the wings once half way through the cooking time.
  • Remove the wings from the oven, if the glaze is not syrupy and thick, place the skillet of wings on the cook top and turn the heat on high, allow the glaze to reduce for about 1 minute. Toss the wings around in the glaze and finish with the fresh cilantro and basil.
  • Serve hot or room temperature.
  • TIDBITS
  • Close that door! Whenever you are tending to something in the oven, pull it out of the oven completely and close that door while you are doing your business. Otherwise your oven will have to work double time to get back up to temperature.

STICKY CHINESE CHICKEN WINGS

Recipe video above. My family recipe for the ultimate Sticky Chinese Wings, perfected over years with many heated debates! Many of the ingredients can be substituted and you'll still get a similar flavour - refer to the notes. Spiciness: A hint of spicy from the chilli sauce, can be omitted.

Provided by Nagi | RecipeTin Eats

Categories     Appetizer     Finger Food     Main     Party Food     Snacks

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 17

1.5 kg /3 lb chicken wings (, cut into drumettes and wingettes (Note 1))
1/2 tsp sesame oil (, toasted )
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp Chinese cooking wine ((Shaoxing wine, sub Mirin, dry sherry))
2 tbsp soy sauce (, light or all purpose)
2 tbsp brown sugar or honey
1 1/2 tbsp hoisin sauce
1 1/2 tbsp oyster sauce
1/4 cup ketchup (or Aussie tomato sauce)
1 tbsp chilli garlic sauce (or sambal oelek (adjust spiciness to taste))
4 cloves garlic (, minced)
1 tbsp ginger (, finely grated)
1/2 tsp five spice powder
Finely sliced shallots/scallions
Sesame seeds
Coriander/cilantro leaves
Finely sliced fresh chili

Steps:

  • Mix Marinade ingredients.
  • Place wings in large bowl, pour over Marinade and toss well. Set aside for 10 minutes - do not marinate for longer than 1 hour. (Note 3)
  • Preheat the oven to 180C/350F.
  • Line baking tray with foil then greaseproof paper (you'll thank me later).
  • Shake excess marinade off wings (but reserve the marinade) and spread on baking tray - can be fairly snug but not super squished (use 2 trays if needed).
  • Bake 45 - 50 minutes, basting with a brush at 25 minutes and 35 minutes, using the reserved marinade and juieces on the tray.
  • The meat should be able to be pulled off the bones quite easily, they should be just starting to char on the edges and a sticky, dark red/golden colour all over.
  • Sprinkle with garnishes - coriander/cilantro leaves, sesame seeds, chilli, sliced shallots/scallions - then serve!
