Notes on the Sweet and Sticky Chicken Wings (Canh Ga Sot Ngot) Recipe, Tips and Tricks
This recipe is super easy and very easy to adjust to your flavor preference. If you like the sauce a bit sweeter, add 1-2 Tbsp agave nectar for a delicate sweetness. If you prefer more intense and salty flavors, add 1 Tbsp soy sauce or oyster sauce. It all works! Find plum sauce at any Asian grocery store. Hoisin sauce is the condiment you eat with pho. Mirin wine is a slightly sweet and tangy rice wine and complements chicken really well. You can substitute Mirin wine with your favorite cooking wine as well.
Use any brand of chicken wings available. A lot of times you can stock up during a sale at your grocery store. I love Kirkland’s organic chicken wings from Costco. They are sold in a three pack with each pack weighing about 2 pounds, so enough for one recipe.
Season the chicken with just garlic powder, salt and pepper. The robust flavors come from the homemade marinade. Marinate the chicken for as long as it takes you to prep the rest of the ingredients.
Pan fry the chicken wings in a large non-stick skillet. Flip and move the pieces around in the skillet for even cooking and browning. If using a smaller skillet, cook the chicken wings in two batches.
These chicken wings are deliciously gooey and saucy! You can make extra sauce and serve it as a dipping sauce.
