Oven baked chicken wings

 


Have you ever tasted the grilled chicken wings from the night food market? Can you picture the air filled with the aroma of grilled chicken wings? Who does not like finger licking good chicken wings? You may bake it or grill it using the same recipe. For today, set aside your thoughts about grilling. Instead, let's go for the easy method to bake it. 

You may bake in an air fryer as well if you are making a small batch. I always bake in a big batch, so baking in an oven is my wise choice.




These easy-to-make BBQ baked chicken wings are flavorful and soft. Marinating the chicken is an essential step in creating mouthwatering baked chicken wings.  The chicken was softer because of the marinating. It is a process that is done for 30 to 45 minutes before baking the meat, or preferably overnight. Through this process, the chicken will become moist and flavorful as it absorbs the marinade.

I'm not marinating with store-bought barbecue sauce. Chinese cuisine marinades are what I typically use to marinade my chicken wings. The wings' caramel-skinned appearance after baking makes them incredibly appealing.


The trick to getting sauce sticking on meat is to bast the sauce on after the meat has cooked through most of the way. To ensure the surface is going to be done releasing moisture and have sufficient texture to allow the sauce to stick. Bast the sauce before the last 10 to 20 minutes of cooking.

You'll be hooked by these oven-baked barbecue chicken wings! They are so addictive that after you take that first delicious taste, you won't be able to stop!


 INGREDIENTS

15 pcs chicken wings, cut at the joint

5-6 pcs red shallots, minced

1 tbsp minced garlic

1 tbsp light soy sauce

1 tbsp dark soy sauce

1 tbsp oyster sauce

1 tbsp Shaoxing wine

½ tbsp white / black pepper

½ tbsp sesame oil

½ tbsp salt

120g sugar

Some butter to grease the baking pan

 


METHOD

1. For the rub, combine all the marinade ingredients in a bowl, mix it until sugar melts. Rub it all over the wings, let the wings marinate for 30 to 45 minutes, best leave it overnight.

2. Lining a tin foil on the baking sheet, grease the foil with butter to avoid the wings from sticking.

3. Preheat the oven at 220°C, lay the wings out evenly on a baking sheet, bake the wings for 45 minutes. Reserve the marinade.

4. Using a fine mesh strainer, remove the marinade's minced shallots and garlic. After bringing it to a boil and tasting the gravy, reduce it further to concentrate the flavour if it's too thin. If you want the gravy to be thicker, you can stir in some slurry. You can add a small amount of dark soy sauce to the gravy to make it look darker.

5. Flip the wings over every 10-15 minutes and baste with the marinade sauce.

6. Bring the baking tray to a higher rack to bake for the last 5 minutes to allow caramel appearance. (keep close eyes on the wings to avoid over burning) Once the wings have gotten a light char on each side, remove them from the oven, squeeze some calamansi juice on top of the wings before serving.

Sweet Potato Egg Tart

When come to egg tart, everyone might mention about the flaky pastry, filled with a smooth, lightly sweetened egg custard. What about giving it a twist for today? Instead of buttery flaky pastry, we switch to use sweet potatoes, raw oats and glutinous flour to make the tart base. This sweet potato egg tarts are high in fiber and delicious. And it requires no cooking skills. After baking, the oatmeal sweet potato crust is soft with naturally sweet and chewy, paired with smooth egg tart fillings. Oh my god! It smells so good. Every time it’s fresh out of the air fryer, the entire family gathers around, eager to grab a slice. The water content of the tart crust is very important. I am using orange sweet potatoes, which contain a lot of water after steaming. Perhaps yellow and purple sweet potatoes would be easier to shape. You can also use instant oats, which have good water absorption. For this recipe, I use cup cake liner as mold. I baked it with an air fryer to cut down on time...

Fried Taro Puff Dumplings (Woo KOK 芋角)

Taro puff dumplings or Woo Kok ( 芋角 ) are another must-eat snack when you go to a restaurant. The outside is honeycomb-shaped, and the inside is soft and smooth. Even if you go to a restaurant to eat, not every restaurant makes them crispy. And for that reason, I decided to learn how to make this snack. Someone once told me, because of the complicated workmanship, it is difficult to make at home. She advised me not to spend effort on it. If you know me well, I always like to challenge my limits. Today, I will show you how to make them! The fillings of taro dumplings must contain pork, dried shrimps, and mushrooms! The filling can be prepared one day ahead. The dumpling skin is made of taro paste. I am using Areca taro ( 槟榔芋 ). It has a tough, brown exterior with an interior that is white/beige in color with purple flecks. The ideal taro for this recipe will be more mature and starchier. The hardest and most tiresome step of the entire process is frying Woo Kok. A crispy crust w...

Ants Climbing A Tree (蚂蚁上树）

This dish is really interesting– Ants Climbing Trees! The name sounds like a small animal, but it is actually made with vermicelli or glass noodles and minces meat. This dish may seem simple, but it is actually rich in content. It is mainly made of glass noodles paired with fresh minced meat, and carefully seasoned with ginger, garlic, shallots, spicy bean paste, soy sauce, sugar and other condiments. Sometimes I cook it and serve it alone as breakfast, lunch, and even dinner. Sometimes I serve it with white rice. Either way, it is a very satisfying dish on my dinner table. The glass noodles were smooth, the minced meat was fragrant, and it tasted a little spicy due to the spicy bean paste.   It was delicious. The reason why this dish name as “ants climbing trees” is because the fried minced meat looks like little ants climbing on the “branch” of glass noodles. When preparing Ants Climbing a Tree, keep in mind that the glass noodles will absorb the sauce quickly.   Incre...
