Recipe Note
Tips:
1. The chicken wings are cooked by soaking in the heated sauce at a relatively low temperature for prolonged time so the flesh is super tender and moist. Turning the heat on for a brief moment in between is to bring the liquid temperature back up. You can adjust the time and frequency of heating depending on the liquid temperature.
2. Turning the chicken wings make sure the wings are evenly colored on all sides.
3. The sauce can be used to make another simple dish, a jello great to be accompanied by sake or as appetiser. Pour the sauce, with the spring onion removed, into a container or mold and put in a fridge for a few hours or overnight until set. De-mold the jello on serving plate and sprinkle some chopped spring onion on top. Done!
