Chicken wings and chestnuts have always been my favorite ingredients. Since chestnuts are available in all supermarkets now at a reasonable price, haha, let’s quickly grab some and make this dish, Braised Chicken Wings with Chestnuts. It’s absolutely delicious and mouthwatering. This dish is made using a braised cooking method. After cooking, the chestnuts become soft, creamy, and sweet, the aroma of chicken wings is irresistible, the meat is tender, and the taste is simply delightful.
Ingredients
Steps
Cut the garlic in half, slice the ginger, and cut the scallions into sections.
Cut the chicken wings into two parts.
Put water in a pot, bring it to a boil, add the chicken wings to blanch, and then remove and drain them for later use.
Add a small amount of oil to the pot, then add the chicken wings and slowly pan-fry over low heat until both sides are slightly golden.
Add garlic, scallions, ginger, Sichuan peppercorns, star anise, and rock sugar to stir-fry until fragrant.
Add light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and cooking wine, and stir-fry evenly.
Add boiling water, then add chestnuts. Bring it to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium-low heat and simmer for about 30 minutes.
Finally, add salt to taste. If there is too much sauce, you can increase the heat to let it reduce slightly. Be careful not to over-reduce the sauce, as I did today.
