Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken wings about 20-25 wings
- 3 tablespoon salt optional for cleaning the wings
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or any neutral oil
Sauce:
- 3 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Regular soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Shaoxing cooking wine
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 teaspoon white granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ginger sliced with skin on
- ½ teaspoon sesame oil
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup water cold
Cornstarch slurry:
- 2 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoon water cold
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine your sauce ingredients as listed above and set aside.
- In a smaller bowl, mix your corn starch slurry and set aside.
- Optional: To prepare your chicken wings, place them in a colander. Apply salt and rub them wings. Then rinse off with water and let the water drain. This cleans the wings making them taste better.
- Pat the wings dry with paper towel.
- Heat vegetable oil in large pan on medium high heat and lower in the wings. Sear wings on both sides for 5 minutes.
- Once browned, add the sauce (do not add the cornstarch slurry yet). Mix well. Bring to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes covered.
- In the last minute, uncover and add the cornstarch slurry. Increase the heat to allow the sauce to thicken and reduce. Serve and enjoy!
