Chinese Chicken Wings

Fans of chicken wings are always in search of a new wing recipe.  There are many tasty chicken wing recipes around, but this recipe for baked Chinese chicken wings is the one I settled on as my signature wing recipe. 

I've been making this recipe for chicken wings for many years.  It is adapted from a recipe I cut from a newspaper when I was first married.  This recipe has survived the test of time and still, it remains a favorite in my family. These wings are also low-carb.  Yay!

Chinese Chicken Wings
You can start with either fresh or frozen chicken wings. When you buy fresh chicken wings, you will most likely get whole wings in packages of approximately three pounds, or more.  You will need to separate the wings using your best knife.  I like to use my favorite santoku kitchen knife for this task. Be sure whatever knife you choose is strong and sharp.

You'll find two joints in each wing.  You will want to separate each segment of the wing into three pieces by cutting through each joint.  The wingtips can be discarded, or freeze them and save for making chicken stock another day.  You'll be left with the drumstick and the wing sections.

An easier solution is to buy prepared wings from the frozen food section of your grocery store.  Those have already been separated into parts for you. Just buy unseasoned wings when making this recipe.

Tips for Success

It's best to start this recipe the night before you want to serve them.  That gives the marinade plenty of time to work its magic.

Be sure you use fresh ginger root to use in the recipe.  It makes all the difference in the flavor.  

You're also going to need some sherry, so if you don't keep it on hand you'll want to get some from your local spirits purveyor.  No cooking sherry is allowed.

What Other Appetizers to Serve with Chinese Chicken Wings

Here are some favorites.

Coconut Shrimp, is an easy air fryer recipe.


Clam Dip with chips and crackers.
Parmesan Pigs in a Puff Pastry Blanket, a special twist on an old favorite appetizer.
Caramelized Onion Dip with chips and crackers.  This dip is a party pleaser.
Crunchy Crab Cakes, a make-ahead appetizer.

Remove the wings from the oven and cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.  These wings can be served either warm or cold.  I like them best when they are slightly warm, but not hot from the oven. Be sure you have plenty of napkins on hand.

These Chinese chicken wings are a little messy, but oh, so good!
