Chinese Honey-Soy Braised Chicken Wings

Chinese Honey-Soy Braised Chicken Wings

Note:

Yummy chinese chicken wings from the beautiful book 'The Complete Asian Cookbook' by Charmaine Solomon.

Ingredients:

1 kg chicken wings (2 lb and 3 oz)
2 tablespoons peanut oil (or cooking oil)
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

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.
