By á-24894

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

Preparation

Step 1

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).

Note: This recipe can use a whole chicken, cut up, instead of only the wings.
