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.

These chicken wings are a bit too spicy for me. I think I'll use less chili pepper next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken wings turned out dry and tough. I'll have to try this recipe again.

These chicken wings are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar in the sauce next time.

I'm not a big fan of chicken wings, but I really enjoyed these. The sauce is flavorful and the chicken is juicy.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my chicken wings didn't turn out as crispy as I would have liked. I think I'll try frying them instead of baking them next time.

I've tried many Chinese chicken wing recipes, but this one is by far the best. The sauce is perfectly balanced, and the chicken is cooked to perfection.

These chicken wings were a hit at my party! They were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a delicious sweet and savory sauce. I'll definitely be making these again.
