A delicious Jiangxi Spicy Chicken Wings | Quick & Easy recipe.

Prepare the aromatics: mince the garlic, slice the bird’s eye chilies and green chili peppers. Use plenty — more aromatics make it tastier (if you love spice, add extra chilies; they’re great over rice too).

Split the chicken wings (cut mid-wings between the two bones lengthwise). Blanch method: blanch first, rinse clean, then pan-fry until golden. Marinade method: marinate with a little salt, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and oyster sauce for 30 minutes, then pan-fry until golden.

Once the wings are golden, add the minced garlic, bird’s eye chilies, and green chili peppers. Stir-fry and season with salt, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and oyster sauce. (If using the marinade method, use less seasoning since the wings are already flavored.)

Right before taking it off the heat, splash 1 tbsp baijiu along the edge of the wok — this adds a wonderful aroma.

For extra flavor, add celery stalks and sliced onion and stir-fry before finishing. Note: you’ll need to increase the seasonings slightly, otherwise the dish will taste a bit bland with the added vegetables.
