My Age-Old Family Recipe For The Perfect Chicken Wings / 家传食谱 - 酱油焖鸡翼

in #food8 years ago (edited)

Today, I would like to share with you my family recipe for the ultimate Chinese-style Chicken Wings. These wings just ooze deliciousness from the very first bite. You won’t be able to resist its flavours. That I can almost guarantee you!

This special recipe provides a perfect balance of salt and sweet with the subtle aroma of “Chinese Star Anise”. It has been tweaked and refined to perfection over many years so further ado, I present you my recipe for creating your very own.


Ingredients:

10 x Chicken Wings
3 slices of Ginger
Handful of Spring Onion
Star Anise (3 of them)
2 tsp Crystal Sugar
2 tsp Light Soy Sauce
2 tsp Dark Soy Sauce
Sesame seeds (optional)


Cooking Method:

Step 1: Heat a pan. Then add in the ginger slices, spring onions and Star Anise. Lastly, place the wings into the mix. Stir the contents for 5 minutes.

Step 2: Add in the crystal sugar as well as the light and dark soy sauce. Cook for 10 minutes until the chicken wings change to a darker, brownish colour.

Step 3: Pour in a cup of water and cover the lid. Cook for a further 10 minutes on medium heat.

Step 4: Change to low heat for another 5 minutes until the sauce has mostly dried up.


And voila! In no time at all, juicy wings served with an authentic and unique Chinese-flavoured twist to them. To add the nice compliment, I really enjoy having them with a glass of red or white wine. They are also the one of the best midnight snacks given how fast they can be prepared!

Why don’t you give it a try at the weekend? I assure you, you most certainly won’t regret it. As always, any comments or questions, please feel free to leave them below.


今天,我想和大家分享我的家传食谱 - 酱油焖鸡翼。 这些鸡翼太美味了,我保证只要你咬了第一口,就会无法抵挡它的诱惑,停都停不下来,呵呵。

烹饪步骤:

步骤 1: 烧热锅,将鸡翼加上姜,葱和八角一起倒进锅里炒干水。

步骤2: 放冰糖,然后加酱油来炒大概10分钟。炒的时间一定要够,鸡翼才能上色。
