CHINESE CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Stir the soy sauce, brown sugar, and garlic powder together in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir until the sugar melts completely. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
• Place the chicken wings in a large bowl. Pour the soy sauce mixture over the wings and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Allow chicken to marinate in refrigerator overnight or 8 hours.
• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Pour the chicken wings and marinade into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until thoroughly hot, about 45 minutes. Remove the aluminum foil from the baking dish and continue baking uncovered another 15 minutes. Serve hot.

FRIED SWEET-AND-SPICY CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Stir the sweet chile sauce and sriracha together in a large bowl. You will be frying the wings and rolling them in this sauce while they're hot.
• Rinse the chicken wings in cold water, drain briefly and place in a shallow baking dish while still damp. Sprinkle the wings evenly with the tempura flour and massage until a thin batter forms.
• Heat the oil in a large 6-quart Dutch oven or heavy-bottom pot over high heat. Using a deep-fry thermometer, bring the temperature of the oil to 365 degrees F.
• Pour the cornstarch into a second large bowl. Dredge the chicken wings through the cornstarch, shake to remove any excess. Working in 3 batches, fry the wings until cooked through and golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes, turning them occasionally. The internal temperature of the chicken should be 165 degrees F.
• Drain the wings on paper towels briefly, then roll them in the prepared sauce. Serve hot.

GRANDMOTHER'S CHINESE CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Place a 14-inch nonstick saute pan over high heat. Add the chicken and dry-sear to lightly brown the chicken. Add the sake, soy sauce, 1/3 cup water, brown sugar, mirin, oyster sauce, ginger, star anise, dried chile and cinnamon stick and bring to a simmer. Cook, covered, about 12 minutes.
• Uncover and simmer until the pan is almost dry, tossing frequently to coat the wings, 10 to 12 minutes. Skim off the fat if you like, and serve, garnishing with scallion shavings and sesame seeds. I like to emulsify the chicken fat into the sauce by turning up the heat at the last minute to boil the fat into the other liquids.

Steps:

• With a sharp knife separate the drumettes from the wingtips at the joint. Place all the pieces in a bowl or a deep pan and add the still-warm marinade. Stir to coat, cover with plastic wrap, and let the wings marinate for several hours, or overnight if possible, in the refrigerator.
• Preheat the oven to 500°F. Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and arrange the wings on the cookie sheets. Brush liberally with the marinade. Roast for about 40 minutes, turning once, until the wings are cooked and crispy brown at the edges. Serve hot, at room temperature, or cold as an appetizer or an entr e with a vegetable and steamed rice.
