Spicy Chinese Chicken Wings

Ingredients

  • 1 pound chicken wings
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 0.5 cup soy sauce
  • 0.25 cup rice wine
  • 3 tablespoons chili garlic sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 0.25 cup water

Method

  1. Rinse the chicken wings and pat them dry with kitchen paper. In a large bowl, whisk the sugar, soy sauce, rice wine, chilli garlic sauce, sesame oil, and minced garlic together. Add the wings to the bowl and toss them until they are fully coated in the sauce.
  2. Place a lightly oiled skillet on the hob to heat. Add the coated chicken wings along with all the sauce and the water. Cover the skillet and cook, turning the wings now and then, until they are cooked through with no pink meat at the bone, which should take about 15 minutes. Take off the lid and carry on cooking for another 5 to 10 minutes until the sauce reduces and thickens.
