Introduction
These pan-seared braised chicken wings are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, fragrant and full of flavor. The recipe is simple and foolproof. By cleaning to remove any gamey scent, marinating for flavor, then slowly pan-searing over medium-low heat and braising under a lid, the chicken wings become juicy, succulent, and rich in taste. It is a classic home-cooked dish beloved by both adults and children.
Step 1
Gently make two shallow cuts on the back (the side without skin) of the clean chicken wings to help draw out internal blood and remove freezer odors.
Step 2
Place the cut chicken wings in a bowl of water and soak for about 15-20 minutes to thaw, rinse, and remove residual blood.
Step 3
Prepare the aromatics: cut the scallions into 4cm lengths, keeping the white and green parts separate; slice the ginger thinly then julienne into strips; smash the garlic cloves with the side of a knife.
Step 4
Remove the soaked wings, and squeeze firmly to expel any remaining blood from around the bones. Rinse repeatedly under running water and pat dry.
Step 5
Place the dried wings into a bowl. Add ginger strips, scallion segments, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, salt, a pinch of chicken bouillon, a pinch of sugar, a pinch of white pepper, a splash of Shaoxing wine, and 1 tbsp light soy sauce. Massage well. If more color is needed, add a few drops of dark soy sauce. Marinate for about 20 minutes.

Important Notes
Squeezing out and cleaning the residual blood inside the chicken wings is crucial, as blood is the main source of the gamey smell. ⚠️
Before cooking, make sure to pick out the ginger strips and scallion segments from the marinade to prevent them from burning and turning black, which would affect the flavor and appearance. 💡
Always use medium-low or low heat throughout the searing process; avoid high heat to prevent the skin from charring before the meat is cooked through. 🔥
When braising, ensure the heat is on the lowest setting, using the alcohol and trapped steam to cook the wings perfectly, ensuring the meat remains tender and juicy. 🍳
