Chicken Wings With Oyster Sauce Serves 4 to 6
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour, 00 minutes
Ingredients:
2 1/2 pounds chicken wings (about 15)
Marinade:
3 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 tablespoons light soy sauce
2 tablespoons Chinese rice wine or dry sherry
1 garlic clove, minced
1 green onion, diced
Salt and pepper, to taste
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a small bowl, combine all the marinade ingredients.
Place the chicken in a shallow glass baking dish and brush with part of the marinade. Bake the wings for approximately 1 hour, turning over at least once, and brushing with the marinade 2 or 3 times during cooking. Serve hot or cold as an appetizer.
These chicken wings can also be deep-fried: toss the wings in a flour/cornstarch batter (use as much cornstarch/flour as needed, keeping a 1:1 ratio between the two) so they are well coated, and deep-fry until crispy and well cooked. Drain on paper towels. Baked Hoisin Sauce Chicken Wings Although found in a Vietnamese cookbook, this chicken wings recipe is actually a Chinese dish. Author Diana My-tran states: When I was a secretary, I had a Chinese boss (and best friend) who introduced this wonderful appetizer to me. It was always a great hit at the office lunches.) Ingredients:
*15 chicken wings
*1 tablespoon honey or syrup
*4 tablespoons hoisin sauce
*3 tablespoons warm water
*3/4 teaspoon salt
*1/2 teaspoon black pepper
*2 garlic cloves, finely minced
*1 scallion (green onion, spring onion), finely minced
*1 slice fresh ginger, minced Preparation: Marinate chicken wings for 15 minutes in a mixture of honey, hoisin sauce, water, salt, pepper, garlic, scallion, and ginger.
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place chicken wings on a baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes, brushing occasionally with marinade.
Turn oven to broil and broil chicken wings five more minutes. Turn wings every two minutes to avoid burning.
To serve: Transfer chicken wings to a serving platter and serve hot or at room temperature.
