Honey Garlic Wings

I am excited to share with you a favorite chicken dish, the Honey Garlic Wings. Try this tasty and inexpensive dish and enjoy it with steamed rice, fried rice, or an Asian salad or with one of the side dishes recommended at the end of the recipe.

A quick few notes: I've decided to make this recipe simpler so I updated the ingredients list to include 3 T. of vegetable oil. I've also updated the instructions to ensure best results.

 Recipe: Honey Garlic Wings

Prep time: 10 minutes plus marinating time (30 minutes-3 hours)                    Author: Styled Biz and Home

Cook time: 30 minutes                                                                                                   Serves 4

Ingredients:

2 ½ lbs. chicken wings
Salt and black pepper, to taste
2/3 c. soy sauce
3 T vegetable oil  (updated ingredient)

4 T. honey, preferably local
1 T. unsalted butter 
2 t. fresh ginger, very finely minced or sliced
4 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed

Recipe Notes: This recipe calls for constant stirring and turning over of the chicken especially in the last part of cooking to prevent the chicken from burning.

           The covering of the pan is important to cook the chicken well from the inside. The covering of the pan must be quickly done in between turning over the chicken times.

(Updated) Directions:

1. Mix all the ingredients in a pan, coating the chicken well with the sauce.
2. Marinate chicken in the fridge for 30 minutes up to 3 hours depending on your available time.
3. Place the chicken with its sauce in a large fry pan. Cover and cook for 15 minutes in medium heat, opening the cover every 5 minutes and quickly turning the chicken wings over (and covering back the pan) so they will not burn.
4. Turn the heat on low. Open the lid and turn the chicken wings over one by one. It is important to coat the chicken with the sauce as you turn them over to prevent the sauce from burning. Arrange the chicken so that they are covered well by the sauce. Stir the chicken and the sauce well and make sure the chicken is not burnt. Cover and cook for 7 minutes, opening the cover halfway through to briefly stir the chicken wings..
5. Open the lid and cook the chicken on low heat for 7 to 8 minutes, stirring the chicken constantly.
6. Remove the pan from the stove and serve the chicken with your favorite side dish while hot.
