Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 10 chicken wings, cut in half
Vegetables:
- 6 mushrooms, sliced
- Ginger slices
- Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Seasonings and Sauces:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon (15 grams) cornstarch
- 1/2 tablespoon (7.5 milliliters) dark soy sauce
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare a marinade by combining ginger, soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, dark soy sauce, and salt in a mixing bowl, thoroughly coating the chicken wings. Allow flavors to meld for 20 minutes at room temperature.
- Preheat a skillet with oil over medium-high heat, carefully positioning chicken wings skin-side down to achieve a crispy, golden-brown exterior. Cook each side until evenly caramelized and sealed.
- Introduce sliced mushrooms into the pan, letting them sauté and release their natural moisture, softening and developing a rich, earthy flavor profile.
- Enhance the dish’s seasoning by sprinkling salt and freshly ground black pepper, gently stirring to distribute flavors evenly across the wings and mushrooms.
- Transfer the glazed chicken wings and tender mushrooms to a serving platter, garnishing with freshly chopped green onions for a vibrant, aromatic finish. Serve immediately while hot and crisp.
Notes
- Marinate longer for deeper flavor infusion, ideally 30-45 minutes for maximum taste absorption.
- Use high-smoke point oil like avocado or peanut oil to prevent burning during frying and achieve crispy golden-brown skin.
- Pat chicken wings dry before marinating to ensure better sauce adherence and crispier exterior when cooking.
- Choose mushroom varieties like shiitake or cremini for richer, more robust umami flavor profile.
- Replace soy sauce with tamari and ensure oyster sauce is gluten-free certified.
- Substitute cornstarch with almond flour or skip coating for fewer carbohydrates.
- For extra crunch, dust wings with a light coating of baking powder before frying to create a crispy skin texture.
