Chinese Chicken Wings
1 1/4 cups soy sauce
1 1/4 cups rice wine or sake
1 cup water
12 whole scallions, ends trimmed, smashed
with the flat side of a knife
10 cloves garlic, smashed with the flat side
of a knife
1 chunk fresh ginger (2 1/2 inch) peeled,
then cut into 10 slices about the size of a
quarter, each smashed with the flat side of
a knife
3 1/2 - 4 pounds chicken wings, rinsed and
drained
Stir the Chinese Marinade ingredients in a
saucepan and heat until boiling. Reduce the
heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Let
the marinade cool slightly.
With a sharp knife separate the drumettes
from the wingtips at the joint. Place all
the pieces in a bowl or a deep pan and add
the still-warm marinade. Stir to coat, cover
with plastic wrap, and let the wings
marinate for several hours, or overnight if
possible, in the refrigerator.
Preheat the oven to 500°F. Line a cookie
sheet with aluminum foil and arrange the
wings on the cookie sheets. Brush liberally
with the marinade. Roast for 40 - 60
minutes, turning once or twice, until the
wings are cooked, crispy, and glazed. Serve
hot, at room temperature, or cold as an
appetizer or an entrée with a vegetable and
steamed rice.
