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!

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!

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/

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.

MOM'S CHINESE CHICKEN WINGS



Mom's Chinese Chicken Wings image

This is my mother-in-law's recipe. I am always asking her to make it when we visit. I have made these for buffet get-togethers and serve them from a crock pot to keep them warm. I usually double the recipe. Overnight marinating time is not included in prep time.

Categories     Chicken

Time 1h5m

Yield 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 -4 lbs chicken wings
2/3 cup soy sauce
6 tablespoons oil
1 teaspoon ground ginger
2 teaspoons dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple
1/2 cup brown sugar

Steps:

  • Rinse wings and pat dry.

Tips:

  • Brining the chicken wings before cooking helps tenderize and flavor the meat. Use a simple brine solution of water, salt, and sugar for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Use a combination of baking powder and cornstarch to create a crispy coating on the chicken wings. The baking powder helps the chicken wings puff up and crisp, while the cornstarch helps absorb moisture and create a golden brown color.
  • Don't overcrowd the chicken wings in the pan when frying. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and becoming soggy.
  • Fry the chicken wings in hot oil. This will help them cook quickly and evenly. Use a deep fryer or a large saucepan filled with oil.
  • Drain the chicken wings on paper towels after frying to remove excess oil.
  • Serve the chicken wings immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular options include ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or sweet and sour sauce.

Conclusion:

These Mom's Chinese chicken wings are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering. They're easy to make, delicious, and can be customized to your own liking. So next time you're looking for a tasty and fun appetizer, give these chicken wings a try. You won't be disappointed!
