Garlic & Soy Wings

I love chicken wings. Who doesn’t? If you’ve tried my KBC-style wings, give these a go. They’re equally messy and satisfying. I paired them with egg fried rice to soak up the delicious sauce.

Ingredients

  • 6 chicken wings (complete wings from joint to tip, approx. 400-500g)

  • 2 tbsp cornflour

  • 1 tbsp vegetable or sunflower oil

  • Salt and pepper (for seasoning)

  • 2 tbsp light soy sauce

  • 1 tbsp mirin rice wine

  • 1 tbsp light brown sugar

  • 2 tbsp runny honey

  • ½ tbsp sesame oil

  • ½ tbsp water

  • 3 garlic cloves

Equipment

  • 2 sealable food bags

  • Baking parchment

  • Baking tray

  • Medium-sized saucepan

  • Micro-grater

  • Spatula

  • Oven-proof dish

Method

1. Prepare the Chicken

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C (fan)/400°F/Gas Mark 6.

  • Line a baking tray with parchment.

  • Add the chicken wings to a food bag with 1 tablespoon of cornflour. Season with salt and pepper, seal the bag, and shake to coat.

  • Transfer the chicken to the second food bag and add the oil. Shake again.

  • Return the chicken to the first bag, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of cornflour, and shake one final time.

  • Place the coated wings on the prepared baking tray, spaced apart.

2. Bake the Chicken

  • Bake on the middle shelf for 30 minutes, turning the wings halfway through.

3. Make the Sauce

  • While the chicken bakes, combine the soy sauce, mirin, light brown sugar, honey, sesame oil, water, and grated garlic in a saucepan.

  • When the chicken has 11 minutes left, stir the sauce ingredients together and place the saucepan over high heat until bubbling.

  • Reduce the heat to low and simmer for up to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce becomes thick and caramel-like. Remove from the heat.

Coat and Finish

  • Once the chicken is baked, transfer the wings to the saucepan and gently coat them with the sauce.

  • Transfer the coated wings and any remaining sauce to an oven-proof dish.

  • Bake for an additional 2 minutes to set the glaze.

Enjoy!
