  • 1 kg chicken wings
  • 600 ml soy sauce, sweet
  • 400 ml water
  • 100 ml vinegar, dark
  • 30 g ginger root, peeled and sliced
  • 6 small red chili peppers

  • Oil for frying
  • 4 tbsp chicken broth from cooking the wings
  • 4 tbsp rice wine (Arak Masak)
  • 6 tbsp tomato ketchup
  • 2 tbsp honey

  • 4 drops of Tabasco if you want it hotter

Instructions

Working time approx. 10 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 50 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour

Served here with a standard sauce that brings out the spicy flavor of the wings.

Wash the chicken wings thoroughly and remove any quills. Drain. Prepare the marinade and bring to a boil. Add the chicken wings and simmer over low heat for about 40 minutes. Turn carefully a few times. Remove the chicken wings and drain. Strain the soy sauce into a clean bottle. It can be reused as seasoned soy sauce. Mix the sauce ingredients well and bring to a boil briefly. Just before serving, fry the chicken wings in batches (about 4-6 pieces) in very hot oil for about 1-2 minutes until crispy. Drain the oil on a paper towel, then place the finished chicken wings on serving plates, brush with the above sauce, and serve immediately.
