Chicken wings with oyster sauce

4 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
10 Chicken wings; (up to 12)
1 slice Fresh ginger
Vegetable oil for frying wings
3 tablespoons Oyster sauce *; up to 4
2 tablespoons Soy sauce
1 tablespoon Dry sherry
½ teaspoon Sugar
1 cup Water

Directions

Divide chicken wings into 2 pieces by separating the large joint from the v-shaped piece.

In a wok or large skillet, add ginger slice and enough oil to cover bottom of pan and heat until hot. Brown the wings (cook half at a time so as not to overcrowd skillet).

Pour out excess oil and discard ginger slice. Add all remaining ingredients to wok or skillet, cover and simmer 10 minutes. Remove lid and cook another 10-15 minutes, or until wings are tender and sauce is reduced. During cooking, baste wings frequently with sauce. When done, wings should be coated with a heavy glaze of sauce.

*Available at many supermarkets and at Oriental and specialty food shops.
