But it warms my heart to know despite the lack of activities in both of my blogs, there are still readers visiting them. Thanks everyone :) So here I am, back from a short and unintended hiatus. The long overdue recipes .
5 Spices Chicken Wings
You need
10 chicken wing pieces
1 tablespoon of Chinese five-spice powder
1 tablespoon of sugar or 2 tablespoons of honey
1/4 cup of soy sauce
2 tablespoons of oyster sauce
3 cloves of garlic minced
1 inch of ginger grated salt and freshly cracked black pepper
How To
1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
2. Prepare the chicken wings and pat dry.
3. Mix all the ingredients except the chicken wing in a bowl. Place the chicken wings in the bowl, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator 8 hours or overnight.
4. Line the wing pieces up on a baking sheet so the side of the wing that has the most skin is facing up. Roast until cooked through, browned and crispy, or until the juice runs clear about 30 minutes.
5. Or if you’re using a griller, oil the grill grate. Grill the chicken wings on one side for 20 minutes, then turn and brush with honey. Continue grilling 20 minutes, or until juices run clear.

Yum! I am intrigued by the sweet pumpkin sauce- how long did it turned soft?
ReplyDeleteHi, just wondering, wouldn't 280C burn the chicken wings quickly? I usually grill at 180-200C for 30 minutes.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry I took such a long time to reply! Anyway for the sweet pumpkin sauce, because I diced the pumpkin so finely, it only took me under 20mins for it to turn soft. But if you cut the pumpkins in chunks, it should take 25-40 minutes? Just make sure you check on the sauce every now and then and stir each time :)
ReplyDeletePuiyee, thanks for pointing out the typo! I forgot to double check the recipe before I hit the Publish button. Thanks again :)
