Pan-fried Chicken wings Recipe
Ingredients:
- Chicken Wings: 2 lbs (about 12-15 wings, separated into drumettes and flats)
- Soy Sauce: 3 tablespoons
- Honey: 2 tablespoons
- Rice Vinegar: 1 tablespoon
- Garlic: 2 cloves, minced
- Ginger: 1 teaspoon, minced (optional)
- Sesame Oil: 1 teaspoon
- Black Pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
- Vegetable Oil: 2 tablespoons
Instructions:
1. Marinate: In a bowl, combine the chicken wings with soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger (if using), sesame oil, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the wings are evenly coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or preferably longer (up to 2 hours in the refrigerator).
2. Pan-fry: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken wings in a single layer (you may need to do this in batches, depending on the size of your pan).
3. Cook: Cook the wings for about 5-7 minutes per side, until they are golden brown and cooked through. Do not overcrowd the pan. If necessary, cook in batches to ensure even browning.
4. Glaze: Once the wings are cooked, reduce the heat to medium-low. Tilt the pan slightly and spoon some of the accumulated juices over the wings to create a glaze. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the glaze to caramelize.
5. Serve: Remove the wings from the pan and serve immediately.
Tips and Variations:
- Add Spice: For spicier wings, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or some chili garlic sauce to the marinade.
- Different Sweeteners: Maple syrup or brown sugar can be substituted for some or all of the honey.
- Crispy Wings: To achieve extra crispy skin, pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels before marinating and cooking. You can also increase the cooking time slightly.
Enjoy your delicious pan-fried chicken wings!
