Drunken Wings Food

DRUNKEN CHICKEN WINGS (醉雞翼)

Steps:

• 1) Place the chicken wings on the bottom of a large pot. Try to arrange them in one layer. Then add the Chinese rice wine. Also add water until the wings are just submerged.
• 2) Trim and clean the spring onion. Chop it in half. Add the white part to the wings. Keep the green part for garnish later. Also add the piece of fresh ginger, lemongrass, chicken bouillon cube, soy sauce and star anise.
• 3) Place the wings over high heat and bring them to a boil. Then turn the heat low and put a lid on the pan. Simmer the wings for 20 minutes.
• 4) Once cooked, take the pot off the heat and let the wings cool down fully in the Chinese wine broth.
• 5) Divide the chicken wings over deep plates and drizzle with the wine broth. Garnish with finely sliced spring onion greens. Serve the drunken chicken cold with boiled or steamed rice.

DRUNKEN CHICKEN

Steps:

• Sprinkle 2 tablespoons salt on the chicken, making sure to season the inside of the cavity. Leave the chicken at room temperature for 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, bring 4 quarts of cold water to a boil over medium-high heat in a 7-quart Dutch oven. Add 2 tablespoons salt, the ginger and whole scallion. Slowly lower the chicken into the boiling water with the breast side up. Bring the water back up to a gentle boil.
• Carefully lift the chicken out using the handles of 2 wooden spoons or 2 pairs of chopsticks positioned under the wings; be careful not to tear the skin (do not use tongs as they can easily tear the skin). Lift the chicken just high enough and tilt it so all the water drains from the cavity into the pot; this allows cold water in the cavity to drain and ensures even cooking.
• Lower the chicken back into the water. Bring the water back to a gentle simmer and reduce the heat to low. Cook, covered, until the juices run clear when the chicken is pierced between the leg and thigh, 33 to 35 minutes. Right before the chicken is done, prepare a large bowl of ice water.
• Transfer the chicken to ice water breast-side down; reserve the liquid the chicken poached in. Let the chicken cool for about 10 minutes, flipping it once after about 5 minutes. (The ice bath prevents the chicken from overcooking, but also helps to firm the meat and tighten the skin.) Remove the chicken, letting the excess water drain off.
• Whisk together 2 cups of the reserved poaching liquid, the wine, sugar and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl until the sugar dissolves. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
• Carve the chicken with a meat cleaver or chef's knife: Start by detaching both leg quarters (leg and thigh together) from the body. Chop the leg quarters through the bone into roughly 3/4-inch pieces. Cut off the wings and drumettes. Split the wing flat lengthwise to expose the meat. Cut the breast bone down the center to separate the two breast halves. Cut each half through the bone into 3/4-inch pieces. Lay the chicken pieces in a 2-quart casserole dish in a single layer.
• Sprinkle the goji berries if using around the chicken. Pour the wine mixture over the chicken making sure it's submerged; add a little more poaching liquid if it's not. Cover and refrigerate overnight or up to 2 days.
• Serve cold, taking the chicken pieces out of the marinade and garnishing them with the goji berries and thinly sliced scallions if using.

DRUNKEN CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Start by combining all the ingredients to make the marinade in a small bowl, mixing well.
• Place the chicken wing sections in a large bowl or large ziplock bag, then the marinade. Mix the wings in the marinade so they all get coated.
• Cover the bowl or seal the ziplock bag and refrigerate for 4-6 hours. You can marinate the wings overnight if needed. (bone-in and skin-on chicken is okay to marinate overnight)
• Preheat oven to 400°.
• Line a baking pan with foil.
• Arrange the chicken wings in a single layer in the pan, and pour the marinade evenly over all the wings
• Bake until meat is well browned and pulling away from the bone, about 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes.
• Any marinade that is on the tray with the fully cooked chicken wings is safe to use since its been a subjected to a high temperature.

DRUNKEN CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• 1. In a 10" x 14" baking pan, spread chicken in an even layer. combine all ingredients and spread over chicken. Cover with aluminum foil and let the chicken get drunk for at least 2 hours (all day is better) turning the chicken every so often. I have the Tupperware marinating container and put the wings (frozen) in it with the sauce and leave it on the counter. It defrosts yet stays cool and is available to flip over every 45 minutes or so.
• 2. Cook covered at 350* for 1 hour. Uncover and cook at 325* until chicken is golden brown and cooked through, I leave it about another hour to an hour 1/4. Turn chicken half way through cooking. Meat will fall off the bone.
• 3. There is NEVER any leftovers at my house when I cook this. I saved this to post so that I could put a picture, but by the time it hit the table everyone dug in! Sorry!
