Dark soy sauce along with regular soy sauce is what gives these wings their rich color. We like to use all flats but a mix with drumettes or whole wings works too.

Yield 8 regular or 16 small servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 (3-inch) pieces ginger, scrubbed, thinly sliced, divided
½ cup dark soy sauce, divided
2 tsp. Five-Spice Powder, divided
20-24 chicken wing pieces (about 2½ lb.)
3 Tbsp. vegetable or sunflower oil
1 shallot, thinly sliced
3 scallions, roots trimmed, halved crosswise
5 garlic cloves, smashed
1 red finger or Fresno chile, halved lengthwise
3 oz. Chinese rock or lump sugar or ¼ cup raw sugar
3 whole star anise
2 pieces dried licorice root (optional)
1 (4-inch-long) cassia or cinnamon stick
¼ tsp. freshly ground white pepper (optional)
¼ tsp. Sichuan peppercorns
½ cup low-sodium soy sauce
¼ cup unseasoned rice wine
Thickly sliced cucumbers (for serving; optional)

Steps:

  • Mix half of ginger, ¼ cup dark soy sauce, and 1 tsp. Five-Spice Powder in a medium bowl. Add wings; toss to coat. Cover and chill at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours.
  • Heat oil in a wok or large deep-sided skillet over medium-high. Add shallot, scallions, garlic, chile, and remaining ginger and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add rock sugar, star anise, licorice root (if using), cassia, white pepper (if using), Sichuan peppercorns, and remaining 1 tsp. Five-Spice Powder and stir to combine. Pour in low-sodium soy sauce, remaining ¼ cup dark soy sauce, and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low.
  • Lift chicken wings out of marinade; discard marinade. Add wings to wok and pour wine over. Stir gently, then bring to a simmer. Cover and cook over medium-low 15 minutes. Gently stir, then cover again and continue cooking until chicken is cooked through and a deep brown color, about 15 minutes longer. Using a spider or slotted spoon, transfer wings to a plate.
  • Pour liquid in wok through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl; discard solids. Return strained liquid to wok and bring to a simmer over medium-high. Cook until sauce thickly coats a spoon, 10-12 minutes. Return chicken wings to sauce and toss to coat. Using a spider or slotted spoon, transfer to a platter. Serve with cucumbers if using.

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: Look for wings that are plump and have a good amount of meat on them. Avoid wings that are bruised or have any signs of damage.
  • Make sure to trim the chicken wings properly: Remove the tips of the wings, as well as any excess fat or skin. This will help the wings cook evenly and prevent them from becoming greasy.
  • 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. You can use a variety of marinades, such as soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger.
  • Cook the chicken wings over medium heat: This will help to prevent them from burning or drying out. Cook the wings for about 10-12 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through.
  • Serve the chicken wings with your favorite dipping sauce: Some popular dipping sauces include ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, and barbecue sauce.

Conclusion:

Soy braised chicken wings are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties or casual gatherings. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your soy braised chicken wings are cooked to perfection and full of flavor.
