Black Pepper Chicken Wings with Mushrooms Recipe

 


Black Pepper Chicken Wings with Mushrooms Recipe 

 

Ingredients:

 

- 1.5 lbs chicken wings, separated into drumettes and flats (tips discarded, optional)

- 8 oz mushrooms, halved or quartered if large

- 2 tbsp soy sauce

- 1 tbsp oyster sauce (optional, adds umami)

- 1 tbsp black pepper

- 1 tbsp cornstarch

- 1 tbsp brown sugar (or to taste)

- 2 tbsp vegetable oil

- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 scallion, thinly sliced (for garnish)

 

Instructions:

 

1. Marinate Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken wings with soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), 1/2 tbsp black pepper, and brown sugar. Mix well and let marinate for at least 30 minutes (longer is better for deeper flavor).


2. Prepare Sauce: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water until smooth. Set aside.


3. Stir-fry Chicken: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken wings and stir-fry until browned on all sides and mostly cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.


4. Stir-fry Mushrooms: Add the remaining 1 tbsp vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the minced garlic and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the mushrooms and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until softened and slightly browned.


5. Combine and Simmer: Return the chicken wings to the skillet. Add the remaining 1/2 tbsp black pepper. Pour the cornstarch slurry over the chicken and mushrooms. Stir to combine and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and coats the chicken and mushrooms nicely.


6. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with the sliced scallion. Serve immediately.  This dish is delicious on its own or with rice.

 

Notes:

 

- The image suggests a glossy, dark sauce.  Adjusting the amount of brown sugar can influence the sweetness and color of the sauce.

- You can use other types of mushrooms, such as shiitake or button mushrooms.

- For spicier wings, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
