China; Chicken Wings (Garlic) | Foreign Cookery |
4 1/2 lb. chicken wings
1/3 cup soya sauce 1/2 cup vinegar or lemon juice 1/3 cup honey 4 tbsp. sugar 6 tbsp. sherry |
1/2+ tsp. powdered ginger
6 minced garlic cloves or 2 tsp. powdered garlic 1 can consomme 2 or 3 tbsp. cornstarch water |
Cut wings in half at the joint and cut off wing tips (reservs to make stock.)
Combine the next 8 ingredients to make marinade and add chicken wing parts (drumsticks). Marinate 3 to 12 hours.
Put wing parts on a rack in a large roasting pan and bake at 400F for 20 min.. Turn wings over and bake another 20 min. at 400F.
Meanwhile, to 1 cup of marinade add the cornstarch-water mixture. Stir over low heat in a saucepan until mixture thickens and then simmer for 2 minutes.
Transfer wings to a buttered casserole dish. Pour over the thickened sauce. Cover and bake at 350 F for 30 minutes stirring once or twice. Serve.
If desired,freeze. Later thaw for two or three hours and then heat through at 350 F for 20 minutes and serve.
NOTE: I use 2 cups of marinade and 4 tbsp. of cornstarch-water mix to prepare the sauce.
