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!

Artisan Bread in Your Bread Machine

Donna Urso
Finally. Artisan Bread from Your Bread Machine Yes, Really. If you want to make artisan-style bread using your bread machine, the secret is simple: use the dough cycle, then bake the loaf in a preheated Dutch oven. This method gives you a crisp crust and chewy crumb without any hand kneading. If you use your bread machine regularly, you already know what it does well. It mixes, kneads, and handles the first rise beautifully. It is a dependable helper in the kitchen. What it does not do especially well is produce that deep golden, crackly crust we associate with artisan bread. The good news is you do not need to give up the ease of your bread machine to get that result. You simply need to change how the bread is baked. Today I’m showing you how to use your bread machine’s dough cycle and bake the loaf in a Dutch oven for a crusty, bakery-style result.

You can make the Barefoot Contessa's Filet of Beef Bourguignon recipe successfully and wow friends and family.    Filet of Beef Bourguignon-A Special Dinner Don't you love Ina Garten? When I saw her demonstrate how she makes a filet of beef bourguignon recipe on her Food Network television show I thought I needed to make it.  It looked simple, elegant and most of all, delicious.  I had friends coming for dinner and thought this was a dish they would enjoy.  I thought I'd make it, test kitchen style, and let you know how it came out. I broke the first rule of entertaining when I tried this recipe, which is don't try making something you have never made before for guests.  We were having dinner with our very good friends from college the following Saturday evening.  I wanted to make something easy, to be able to spend more time with them.  I also wanted the meal to be elegant because they are such special friends.  This dish fits the bill...
