- 8 oz mushrooms, halved or quartered if large

- 2 tbsp soy sauce

- 1 tbsp oyster sauce (optional, adds umami)

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.
