Chinese 3 Cup Chicken Wings
- 1 pound Chicken Wings Or Pre-cut Wingettes And Drumettes
- 2 Tablespoons Sesame Oil
- 1 piece (1-inch Size) Ginger, Sliced Into Rounds
- 2 cloves Garlic, Sliced
- 1/4 cups Chinese Cooking Wine (shaoxing Wine)
- 2 Tablespoons Dark Soy Sauce
- 2 teaspoons Soy Sauce
- 1/2 cups Packed Thai Basil
- 2 whole Scallions, Sliced Into 2-inch Pieces
- Start by patting chicken dry.
- If using chicken wings, cut each wing at the joint where the drumette and wingette meet, so you have 2 pieces.
- If using drumettes and wingettes, youre good to go.
- Put the sesame oil, ginger, and garlic into your wok over medium heat.
- Let the aromatics infuse the oil for a couple of minutes.
- Add the chicken wings to the wok all in one layer.
- Sear the chicken until golden brown on both sides.
- Then add cooking wine, dark soy sauce, and regular soy sauce.
- Stir and cover the wok.
- Simmer over medium heat for about 10 minutes to cook the chicken through.
- Remove the cover and turn up the heat to rapidly reduce the sauce for a few minutes until it clings to the chicken and gives it a rich, dark color.
- Make sure to stir the chicken during this process to prevent burning.
- Throw in the Thai basil and scallions and stir-fry everything together for another couple minutes until the basil and scallions are wilted.
- Plate it up and serve!
