Stewed Chicken Wings

This is one of my favourite & easiest chicken recipes.

Ingredients:
- about 4 whole chicken wings or 6 to 8 mid-joint of the wings

Sauce ingredients (see "tips" below):
- peeled & chopped garlic, about 1 heaped teaspoon
- peeled & chopped ginger, about 1 teaspoon
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- half teaspoon vinegar
- half teaspoon sesame oil
- pinch of salt
- pinch of sugar
- dash of pepper

Method:
- wash & clean chicken wings
- add about 150ml water to the sauce
- put everything into a pot or casserole
- when the contents start to boil, turn heat to medium-low & cook for another 20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked
- during the cooking process, you could turn the chicken to ensure even colouring
- if the sauce is drying out too much while cooking, add a little hot water, not too much as you don't want the dish to turn into a soup, haha

Tips:
- again this is one recipe I devised which allows for a lot of flexibility. You can add other ingredients to the sauce depending on your preference. Or you can simply ignore some of the sauce ingredients if you don't like them or don't have them. Better still, play around with the quantities so you get a taste that you like most.

- there is flexibility in the cooking method too. You could first pan-fry the garlic & ginger with a little oil, then put in the chicken & fry it a bit, before adding water & the sauce ingredients, then continue to cook for about 20 minutes. The taste will turn out a bit different.

Go experiment with it and share with me your variations :-)
