When it comes to chicken wings, I used to make Japanese chicken wings or Buffalo chicken wings. But I wanted to eat tender chicken wings that can be easily removed from the bones.
In this recipe, you don’t need coating & deep-frying chicken wings!
It’s very simple and easy, but maybe a little cooking time required.
There is a classic chicken wings (or drums) dish called “Amakara-Ni” in Japanese home cooking, which is chicken wings by slow-stew them with soy sauce, sugar, mirin, and sake.
It’s tasty, but it’s a little boring, so I grilled them in the oven after slow-stewing. The glaze will be thicker and shiny.
