Number Of Ingredients 7

1 kg chicken wings (2 lb and 3 oz)
2 tablespoons peanut oil (or cooking oil)
1/3 cup dark soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons Chinese wine or 2 tablespoons dry sherry
1 garlic clove, crushed
1/2 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger

Steps:

  • Directions: 1 Cut each chicken wing into 3 pieces. Discard wing tips or reserve for stock. 2 Heat oil in wok or skillet and fry joints on high heat for 3-4 minutes, or until browned. 3 Add soy, honey, wine or sherry, garlic and ginger, stir well. 4 Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer about 30 minutes or until tender. 5 Stir frequently towards end of cooking and make sure the sweet does not burn. 6 Serve warm (the book says or at room temperature - I prefer them warm), either with white rice (serves 4) or as a main course for two (served with a cool beer in front of the TV). 7 Note: This recipe can use a whole chicken, cut up, instead of only the wings.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Chicken Wings: Select large and plump chicken wings for a more flavorful and satisfying dish.
  • Make Sure to Marinade the Chicken Wings: The marinade helps infuse the chicken wings with flavor and tenderize them. Allow them to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for deeper flavors.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When searing the chicken wings, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and becoming soggy.
  • Cook the Chicken Wings Over Medium Heat: Cooking the chicken wings over medium heat allows them to cook evenly and develop a nice caramelized exterior without burning them.
  • Use a Meat Thermometer to Check for Doneness: The chicken wings are done cooking when they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Using a meat thermometer ensures that they are cooked through and safe to eat.
  • Make the Honey Soy Sauce: The honey soy sauce is a key component of this dish. Use a good quality soy sauce and honey for the best flavor.
  • Serve the Chicken Wings Immediately: Serve the chicken wings immediately while they are hot and crispy. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions for a finishing touch.
