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.

Dong Po Rou （东坡肉）

Dong Po Rou （东坡肉） – wine braised pork belly. It’s rich and savoury, tender that melts into your mouth. Traditionally, the pork belly is pan-fried before being braised or stewed for one to one and a half hours on low heat. Some of the recipes even call for steaming for an additional half an hour after stewing. It is very time-consuming. But as you are aware, I enjoy making recipes simpler without compromising the taste. You, too, I'm sure. Therefore, I skipped the pan-frying step and proceeded directly to braising the pork after blanching it, and then continued to cook with a pressure cooker. Don't worry; the dish's flavour remains unaffected. I'm hoping this simplified method may come in handy for your regular cooking. Trim off the edges of the pork and cut it into 3x3 cubes. Tie cooking twine around each cube. This will assist the cubes in keeping their form while cooking. If the pork that you bought is at the mid portion of the belly is ideal, there is a nice bala...

Canned braised pork belly (罐头扣肉）

  A must-have dish for the Lunar New Year is steamed braised pork ( 扣肉 ). Some people enjoy making braised pork with yam, while others prefer to use preserved veggies. The key to making braised pork is to boil the meat first, then deep-fry it, and finally steam it. The sauces are the key to enhancing the flavour of the braised pork with either yam or preserved veggies. Of course, choosing pork that is half-fat and lean pork belly tastes the best is also crucial.   You can choose how thinly you want the pork slices. I sliced my pork to a thinness of 10 to 15 mm thinness.  Another crucial tip is to just use wine and no water when preparing the braised pork. I'm using Shaoxing wine, and it's been proven that the more wine you use, the tastier and more fragrant the meat will be and that the meat will remain fragrant after stewing. As I mentioned, this braised pork needs to boil first, then be deep-fried.  For those who find frying meat is very troublesome , you can w...

Ginkgo Bean Curd and Barley Sugar dessert (白果腐竹薏米糖水)

Do you miss this delicacy of Ginkgo Bean Curd and Barley Sugar dessert? When did you most recently enjoy or make it? Ginkgo, commonly known as ginkgo. It is very popular when used to cook bean curd sheets. I went to a dessert house two days ago. The waitress was serving this dessert to a young lady who was sitting next to me. I overheard that lady comment about that dessert is different from other dessert houses. So, I give it a go. I am not sure how it was different from other dessert houses. But it is different from what I had before. It is creamy, smooth, and rich in flavour. So, I am going to copycat this, and my family loves it so much. Especially youngsters who do not like any small chunks to chew on with liquid dessert. This dessert can be cooked on the stove or pressure cooker. There's a catch, though: Yuba sheets or bean curd sheet, also known as Fu Chuk, come in a variety of forms.   If you opt for making this dessert over a stove, need to choose the kind that disso...
