Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 4 units garlic cloves
- 4 units green onions
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons cilantro
Instructions
Begin by trimming any excess fat off the chicken wings and pat them dry with paper towels.
Peel and finely mince the fresh ginger, then set aside. Crush and mince the garlic cloves and slice the green onions, separating the white and green parts.
In a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken wings in batches and brown on each side for about 2-3 minutes. Remove the wings and set them aside.
In the same skillet, add the white parts of the green onions, minced ginger, and garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and brown sugar to the skillet. Stir well to combine and bring to a simmer.
Add the chicken broth to the mixture, stirring to pick up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Return the chicken wings into the skillet, ensuring they are evenly coated with the sauce. Sprinkle with black pepper.
Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Simmer the wings for 45-50 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is tender and the sauce has thickened.
Once cooked, remove the lid and let the wings rest for a few minutes. This allows the sauce to thicken further if needed.
Garnish with the green parts of the sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and cilantro. Serve hot with your choice of sides or as an appetizer.
