Instructions

  1. 1

    Blanch chicken wings in boiling water for 3 minutes to remove excess fat and impurities. Drain and rinse.

  2. 2

    In a wok or wide pot, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Add garlic, ginger, and star anise. Stir-fry 1 minute until fragrant. Add blanched wings and cook 3 minutes until lightly browned.

  3. 3

    Add soy sauce, dark soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, oyster sauce, five-spice powder, and sugar. Stir to coat the wings. Add water. Bring to a boil.

  4. 4

    Reduce to medium-low heat, cover, and braise 25 minutes, turning wings occasionally. Remove lid and increase heat to medium-high. Cook an additional 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce reduces to a thick, lacquered glaze that coats and clings to the wings.

  5. 5

    Drizzle sesame oil and garnish with green onions. The wings should be deeply mahogany, sticky, and intensely flavored.
