Bandit Chicken Wings (土匪雞翼)

This dish can be served as a main, side or finger-food in a party. The power of every oven is very different, thus adjust the cooking time accordingly depending on the thickness of the chicken meat. Cumin is available at supermarkets or Asian grocers.

Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 15 mins
Yield: 3 to 4 serves

Ingredients:

• 870 gm (14 pieces) chicken wings
• black sesame seeds, roasted, for garnish

Marinade:

• 3 tsp cumin powder
• ¼ tsp coriander powder
• ½ tsp five-spice powder
• ¼ tsp salt
• 1 tsp sugar
• 2 tsp shaoxing wine
• 2 tsp light soy sauce
• 2 tsp dark soy sauce
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• pepper, to taste

Method:

1. Rinse the chicken wings. Wipe dry with kitchen towels. Set aside.
2. Combine all the ingredients of marinade. Mix with the chicken wings well. Set aside for 1 hour, or overnight for developing better flavours.
3. Preheat oven to 200C / 390F. Lightly grease a baking pan. Transfer the chicken wings onto the greased pan in one single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Flip over to the other side. Continue to bake another 8 to 10 minutes, or until the chicken wings are cooked through. Sprinkle black sesame seeds for garnish. Serve immediately.
