Main Ingredients- 1 pack antibiotic-free chicken wings
- Milk (for marinating chicken wings)
- Pinch of black pepper powder
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the fresh chicken wings. First, place the chicken wings in a sieve and rinse them briefly under running water to remove any impurities.
Step 2
To remove any gamey odor and tenderize the chicken wings, we’ll marinate them in milk. Place the chicken wings in a bowl, pour enough milk to cover them completely, and let them soak for about 30 minutes. This process helps eliminate the chicken smell and makes the meat more tender.
Step 3
For the sauce, wash the Cheongyang peppers clean, remove the stems, and mince them as finely as possible. If you enjoy a spicier taste, you can leave some of the seeds in.
Step 4
Let’s make a delicious sauce! In a bowl, combine 3 Tbsp of Korean soy sauce, 2 Tbsp of agave syrup (adjust sweetness to your preference), 1 Tbsp of minced garlic, 1 Tbsp of organic oyster sauce, 2 finely minced Cheongyang peppers, and 1 Tbsp of lemon juice. Mix well to create the sauce. The blend of tanginess and umami will enhance the chicken wings’ flavor.
Step 5
Finely chop the cashew nuts, which will be used for garnish, with a knife. Sprinkling them over the braised wings will add a nutty flavor and texture. Omit if you have nut allergies.
Step 6
Drain the chicken wings that were marinated in milk and rinse them thoroughly. After rinsing off the milk, it’s crucial to drain them well using a sieve. If there’s excess water, the braised dish might taste diluted.
Step 7
Sprinkle a pinch of black pepper powder over the drained chicken wings and mix well to coat evenly. Pepper helps to eliminate any residual gamey smell and adds flavor.
Step 8
Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken wings and mix well to ensure they are evenly coated. Let them marinate in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This step allows the flavors to deeply penetrate the chicken wings, making them even more delicious.
Step 9
Now it’s time to braise the chicken wings. Place all the marinated chicken wings in a pan and simmer over medium heat. Start with medium heat rather than high to prevent the sauce from burning.
Step 10
To prevent sticking and ensure even cooking, flip the chicken wings occasionally as they simmer. Continue cooking until the sauce thickens slightly and the chicken wings develop a glossy sheen. Covering with a lid and simmering on low heat will help cook them through tenderly.
Step 11
Once the sauce has nicely reduced and the chicken wings have a tempting color, your delicious braised chicken wings are ready!
Step 12
Arrange the finished braised chicken wings attractively on a plate. Finally, sprinkle the finely chopped cashew nuts over the top for garnish, adding a nutty flavor and visual appeal. Enjoy your meal!
