GRANDMOTHER'S CHINESE CHICKEN WINGS

Provided by Andrew Zimmern

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.

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 12

800g chicken wings
1 tbsp baking powder
1½ tsp Sichuan peppercorns

3 tbsp Shaoxing wine

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality chicken wings: Fresh wings will have a better flavor and texture than frozen wings.
  • Marinate the chicken wings for at least 30 minutes: This will help the wings to absorb the flavors of the marinade and make them more tender.
  • Use a combination of wet and dry ingredients in the marinade: Wet ingredients, such as soy sauce, honey, and vinegar, will help to flavor the wings, while dry ingredients, such as garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika, will add complexity to the flavor.
  • Cook the wings until they are crispy on the outside and cooked through on the inside: This will usually take about 15-20 minutes in a preheated oven set to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the wings with your favorite dipping sauce: Popular choices include ranch dressing, honey mustard, and barbecue sauce.
