RECIPE: REC: HELEN CHEN’S OVEN-ROASTED OYSTER SAUCE CHICKEN WINGS

[ron_in_worcester]

An excellent recipe for wings. Helen has adapted her mother, Joyce Chen's, recipe and eliminated the deep-frying aspect. (Not that there's anything wrong with that...)

HELEN CHEN’S OVEN-ROASTED OYSTER SAUCE CHICKEN WINGS

2 to 2-1/2 lbs. chicken wings (about 12 to 16 pieces)

1 tsp. grated peeled gingerroot

1 Tbsp. dry sherry

3 Tbsp. dark soy sauce

3 Tbsp. oyster sauce

1 tsp. sugar

Rinse the chicken wings and pat dry. Cut off the wing tips and cut the wings into 2 sections through the joint. (Discard the wing tips or save them to make chicken broth.)

Combine the remaining ingredients in a plastic bag. Mix well. Add the chicken wings. Seal the bag and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours--preferably overnight. Turn the bag occasionally to distribute the marinade evenly.

When ready to cook: Preheat oven to 400º F. Place the wings on an ungreased baking pan and roast for 15 to 20 minutes or until chicken is almost cooked. Turn the wings over and cook

10 more minutes until done. If you prefer a darker color, finish the wings under the broiler for the last 3 minutes of cooking. Serve hot, cold or at room temperature.

Serves 3 to 4 as a main course; 6 to 8 as an appetizer

Hi Ron, So good to see you back with us. Are you buried in snow

today? As I remember, more often than not, it snowed on St. Patricks and the parades had to be cancelled or they were marching among the snow flurries. It was 101º on my patio today. I think the official temp was 97º. To tell the truth, I'd rather be in New England, snow or no snow. LOL

I'm dreaming of a white St. Patrick's Day, MIA!

New England's been pretty much spared the whole winter snow thing, so I guess we really can't complain. (Although that hasn't stopped me so far!)

I've been lurking mostly. Sort of like Mister Ed: I only speak when I have something to say.

(Here's hoping that hasn't dated me way too much.)
