Chinese Five Spice Chicken Wings

Ingredients

1 kg chicken wings

1 tbsp five spice powder

1/2 cup water

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup soy sauce

2 tbsp vegetable oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Directions

1. In a small bowl, mix together all ingredients except the water, set it aside and let chicken marinate for at least 6 hours.

2. Place everything in a wok together with the water. Turn heat to high then bring to a boil, while boiling turn chicken once in a while to make sure its cooked evenly, let the liquid thicken then set the heat to low. This might take around 8-10 minutes.

3. Once liquid is thick, turn heat to low so it does not burn, turn the chicken once in a while to coat it evenly. At this point a small amount of oil is extracted from the chicken wings, stir fry chicken for a minute (add oil if needed), remove from wok then serve.
