ASIAN CARAMEL CHICKEN WINGS

Using dark caramel in savoury dishes is common in Asian cooking- it adds depth of flavour and contrasts well with sour and spicy notes

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Main course, Starter

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 12

100g golden caster sugar
4 tbsp gluten-free fish sauce
1 green chilli , halved (optional)
small piece cinnamon bark
small piece ginger , finely chopped
juice 1 large lime , plus extra for squeezing over
1kg chicken wing , tips removed and cut in half
small bunch spring onion , cut into 1cm lengths
large piece ginger , cut into matchsticks
1 green chilli (seeds removed if you don't like it too hot), cut into rings
handful coriander sprigs
boiled white rice , to serve

Steps:

  • Put the sugar in a medium sauté pan with enough water to make it go sludgy. Place on a low heat and bring to the boil, then cook until you have a dark amber caramel (see tip, below).
  • At arms length, add the other ingredients, except for the chicken and garnish, and bring to a simmer - take care as it will spit. Once it has calmed down a little and you have a thick sauce, stir in the wings until well coated. Pour over 100ml water and simmer on a medium heat for about 30 mins, stirring every now and then until the sauce is a thicker consistency - add a splash more water if needed.
  • Turn down the heat and continue to cook, covered, for a further 15 mins, stirring occasionally, until the wings are lacquered and tender and the sauce is very thick. Turn off the heat and quickly stir through half the spring onion, ginger and chilli. Tip the wings and sauce onto a platter. Scatter with the remaining garnish and coriander, and serve with extra lime and rice.

Tips:

  • Selecting the right chicken wings: Choose plump and evenly sized chicken wings for a consistent cooking experience. Ensure they are fresh and properly cleaned before cooking.
  • Marinating the chicken wings: Allow the chicken wings to marinate in the soy sauce, sake, and mirin mixture for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will enhance the flavor and tenderness of the chicken.
  • Cooking the chicken wings: Pan-frying the chicken wings over medium heat allows them to crisp up nicely while maintaining their juicy interiors. Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the chicken wings to prevent sticking.
  • Adjusting the seasonings: Taste the chicken wings during the cooking process and adjust the seasonings if necessary. You can add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder to suit your preferences.
  • Garnishing the chicken wings: Sprinkle some sesame seeds, chopped green onions, or shichimi togarashi (Japanese chili pepper) on top of the chicken wings before serving. This adds a touch of color and extra flavor to the dish.

Conclusion:

Japanese salted chicken wings are a delightful appetizer or main course that combines the umami flavors of soy sauce, sake, and mirin with the crispy texture of fried chicken. By following these tips, you can create a delicious and authentic dish that will impress your friends and family. Whether you serve them as a party snack or a casual meal, these chicken wings are sure to be a hit.
