Main Ingredients- Chicken Wings (Flats & Drumettes) 350g
- Mirin or Soju 1-2 Tbsp (for removing gamey odor)
- Korean Green Chili Peppers (Ggari-gochu) 8 pcs
Sweet & Savory Soy Glaze- Soy Sauce 3 Tbsp
- Oligosaccharide Syrup (or Corn Syrup) 2 Tbsp (for shine and sweetness)
- Sugar 2 Tbsp
- Water 2 Tbsp
- Minced Garlic 1 Tbsp
- Plum Extract 2 Tbsp (adds umami and aroma)
- Soy Sauce 3 Tbsp
- Oligosaccharide Syrup (or Corn Syrup) 2 Tbsp (for shine and sweetness)
- Sugar 2 Tbsp
- Water 2 Tbsp
- Minced Garlic 1 Tbsp
- Plum Extract 2 Tbsp (adds umami and aroma)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, rinse the chicken wings thoroughly under running water. Lightly score the chicken wings 2-3 times with a knife; this helps the glaze penetrate better. To effectively remove any gamey odor, soak the chicken wings in milk for 30 minutes. The milk proteins absorb impurities and odors from the chicken.
Step 2
After soaking in milk for 30 minutes, rinse the chicken wings again under running water to remove any milk residue.
Step 3
Before starting the soy glazing, parboiling the chicken wings will result in a cleaner and more tender texture. Place the chicken wings in a pot and add 1-2 tablespoons of mirin or soju, which are effective in removing gamey odors.
Step 4
Once the water boils, parboil the chicken wings for exactly 3 minutes. Boiling for too long can cause the chicken’s juices to escape, so sticking to the time is crucial!
Step 5
Drain the chicken wings that have been parboiled for 3 minutes, rinse them lightly under cold running water. This helps remove more impurities and smooths the surface. After rinsing, thoroughly pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 6
Now, let’s make the delicious soy glaze. In a bowl, combine 2 Tbsp oligosaccharide syrup, 2 Tbsp plum extract, 3 Tbsp soy sauce, 2 Tbsp water, 1 Tbsp minced garlic, and 2 Tbsp sugar. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved.
Step 7
Place the dried chicken wings into a pot and pour all the prepared soy glaze over them. Cover with a lid and simmer over medium-low heat for about 6 minutes, allowing the glaze to coat the chicken wings. Stir occasionally to ensure even coating and simmering.
Step 8
Once the glaze has thickened slightly, add the washed Korean green chili peppers. Continue to simmer for another 10 minutes, with or without the lid (depending on your preference), until the chili peppers are tender and the glaze has become sticky, coating the wings beautifully.
Step 9
Your delicious soy-glazed chicken wings are ready! They are incredibly tasty when served hot. You can even mix the leftover glaze with rice for an extra treat. Enjoy your meal!
