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.

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/

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

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.

DAD'S CHINESE CHICKEN WINGS

Categories     Chicken     Garlic     Ginger     Appetizer     Marinate     Roast     Kid-Friendly     Sugar Conscious     Dairy Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Kosher     Small Plates

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Chinese Marinade:
1 1/4 cups soy sauce
1 1/4 cups rice wine or sake
1 cup water
12 whole scallions, ends trimmed, smashed with the flat side of a knife
10 cloves garlic, smashed with the flat side of a knife
2 1/2-inch chunk fresh ginger, peeled, then cut into 10 slices about the size of a quarter, each smashed with the flat side of a knife
3 1/2 to 4 pounds chicken wings (about 20), rinsed and drained

Steps:

  • Stir the Chinese Marinade ingredients in a saucepan and heat until boiling. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Let the marinade cool slightly.
  • With a sharp knife separate the drumettes from the wingtips at the joint. Place all the pieces in a bowl or a deep pan and add the still-warm marinade. Stir to coat, cover with plastic wrap, and let the wings marinate for several hours, or overnight if possible, in the refrigerator.
  • Preheat the oven to 500°F. Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and arrange the wings on the cookie sheets. Brush liberally with the marinade. Roast for about 40 minutes, turning once, until the wings are cooked and crispy brown at the edges. Serve hot, at room temperature, or cold as an appetizer or an entr e with a vegetable and steamed rice.

Tips:

  • For crispy wings, pat them dry with paper towels before frying. This will help remove excess moisture and allow the skin to crisp up.
  • To get a deep golden brown color, fry the wings in batches and don't overcrowd the pan. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from steaming.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the wings are cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check if the wings are done by piercing them with a fork. The juices should run clear, not pink.
  • Serve the wings with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or honey garlic sauce.

Conclusion:

These Mom's Chinese Chicken Wings are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties, game day gatherings, or a quick weeknight meal. With a crispy exterior and a flavorful, juicy interior, these wings are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying dish, give these wings a try. You won't be disappointed!
