Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean and Marinate Chicken Wings

    Rinse the chicken wings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Place them in a large bowl and add soy sauce, dark soy sauce, Chinese cooking wine, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare Aromatics

    While the chicken is marinating, slice the ginger and mince the garlic. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large pot or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the sliced ginger and minced garlic, and sauté until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

  2. 4

    Brown the Chicken Wings

    Add the marinated chicken wings to the pot. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the wings are browned on all sides.

  3. 5

    Add Sauce Ingredients

    Pour in the water, star anise, and chopped scallions. Stir to combine, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits.

  4. 6

    Simmer

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken wings are tender and the sauce has thickened.

Serving

  1. 7

    Finish and Serve

    Once cooked, taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper as needed. Serve the braised chicken wings hot, garnished with additional chopped scallions if desired.
