Ingredients
Instructions
- Place chicken wings in a stock pot; sprinkle with ginger and wine.
- Cover and simmer over medium-high heat until the wine is almost evaporated.
- Add remaining ingredients, mixed well.
- Simmer and cook, covered, for 1 hour, stirring wings often and keeping heat at medium to medium-high.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, marinate the chicken wings in the soy sauce and ginger for a few hours or overnight before cooking. If you don't have dry white wine, you can substitute with chicken broth or apple cider vinegar for a different twist. Adjust the sugar to taste if you prefer a less sweet sauce. For a spicy kick, consider adding some chili flakes or sriracha.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these soyed chicken wings as a delicious appetizer or main dish. They pair wonderfully with steamed rice or a fresh salad. For extra flavor, drizzle with sesame oil or garnish with chopped green onions before serving. Consider serving alongside a side of Ginger Peanut Chicken for a delightful meal spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the wings in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes, or until heated through. This will help maintain their crispy texture. Alternatively, you can microwave them for 1-2 minutes, but they may lose some crispiness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen chicken wings for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen chicken wings; just make sure to thaw them completely before cooking. Thawing ensures even cooking and allows the flavors to penetrate the meat better. You can thaw them overnight in the refrigerator or use the defrost function on your microwave.
What if I want to make this dish gluten-free?
To make this dish gluten-free, substitute the soy sauce with tamari, which is a gluten-free alternative. Additionally, check the labels on the other ingredients to ensure they are gluten-free. The flavor will remain rich and satisfying without the gluten.
How can I make the sauce thicker?
If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can create a slurry by mixing cornstarch with a little cold water and adding it to the pot during the last 10 minutes of cooking. Stir well to incorporate, and allow the sauce to simmer until it thickens to your liking.
