Taken from 'Soups and Starters' cook book - Tasty Tip : Often overlooked, chicken wings are inexpensive and very flavourful, Served this way, with a sticky coating they make an ideal snack. Serve with finger bowls to clean sticky fingers. Ingredients:
900 g chicken thighs |
2 tablespoons vegetable oil |
3 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed |
4 cm gingerroot, fresh peeled finely grated |
125 ml soy sauce |
3 tablespoons chinese rice wine (or dry sherry) |
2 tablespoons clear honey |
1 tablespoon soft brown sugar |
2 dashes hot chili sauce (to taste) |
parsley (fresh) |
Directions:
1. Heat a large wok and when hot add the oil and heat. Stiir-fry the chicken thighs for 5 minutes or until golden. Remove and drain on absorbent kitchen paper. You may need to do this in 2-3 batches.
2. Pour off the oil and fat and, using absorbent kitchen paper, carefully wipe out the wok. Add the garlic with the root ginger, soy sauce, chinese rice wine or sherry and honey to the wok and stir well.
