CHINESE HONEY-SOY BRAISED CHICKEN WINGS (MUT JUP MUN GAI YIK)

Steps:

• Cut each chicken wing into 3 pieces. Discard wing tips or reserve for stock.
• Heat oil in wok or skillet and fry joints on high heat for 3-4 minutes, or until browned.
• Add soy, honey, wine or sherry, garlic and ginger, stir well.
• Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer about 30 minutes or until tender.
• Stir frequently towards end of cooking and make sure the sweet does not burn.
• 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.

HONEY SOY CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Cut tips off chicken and discard. Place wings in a non reactive shallow dish.
• In a small bowl combine remaining ingredients, and mix well.
• Refrigerate overnight, or a few hours.
• Cook on a lightly oiled bbq grill for about 5 minutes each side on a med-high heat. (Adjust cooking time depending on your bbq) or until chicken is tender and cooked through.

EASY CHINESE SOY-BRAISED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Begin heating soy sauce and water over medium flame. Add ginger, sugar, cinnamon, and star anise.
• Bring mixture to simmer and add chicken. Reduce heat to very low and cover casserole dish/pot. Make sure heat is as low as can be without turning off; simmering soy sauce can easily become rapidly boiling soy sauce, which can easily become a big mess to clean up.
• Cook chicken for 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the size of the pieces. Cut one open to check for doneness. Ladle chicken from sauce mixture and serve as is. Or if you're handy with a cleaver, chop up those thighs into smaller pieces. Garnish with scallions.

CHINESE HONEY CHICKEN

Steps:

• MIX THE BATTER INGREDIENTS together in a medium-sized bowl; it should be thick and smooth.
• Allow the batter to sit, covered for at least 30 minutes.
• Combine the chicken with the batter.
• Heat a wok or large deep skillet until it is hot and add the oil for frying.
• When the oil is barely smoking, deep-fry the chicken for 2 minutes or until the batter is just firm.
• You should do this in several batches.
• Remove the chicken with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
• TO MAKE SAUCE: Heat a small saucepan; when it is hot, add the oil, ginger and garlic, and stir for 30 seconds.
• Then add the rest of the sauce ingredients and simmer for 2 minutes.
• Keep warm.
• Reheat the oil in the wok until it is very hot, but not smoking.
• Deep-fry the chicken again until it is golden and crisp, about 1 minute.
• Remove and drain, place on a warm platter, drizzle with the sauce (and sprinkle with the optional toasted sesame seeds if desired) and serve immediately.

• Return chicken to wok and place back on a medium low heat, cover wok and cook, 10-15 Min's, stirring occasionally or until chicken is cooked through.
• To Serve: Place wings in a bowl and top with sliced green onion. I served mine with a nice big salad of greens, egg, avocado, cucumber, bacon, red onion, parmesan cheese and topped with alf alfa sprouts.
