It is such a quick and easy stew with Chicken Wings and Potatoes. It's perfect for a quick dinner. Caramelizing sugar is often used in Chinese stewing, which creates great color and flavor for the wings or meats in general. Of course, brining wings is always helpful to make the wings tender and flavorful. Enjoy! ___________________________________

Hi everyone, since I still have some chicken wings left, today I'm going to share with you a quick
stew with chicken wings and potatoes. And the ingredients are so simple and so delicious.
Let's get started. I'm going to use eight cloves of garlic and just cut them in half. So this way
they're more visible. You can add more or reduce, depends on your liking. So delicious after stew.
Garlic and slice of ginger.
One green onion just for garnishing in the end. Slice it. And we also are going to use two
star anise for flavor. I have four yellow potatoes. You can use any other potatoes.
Just cut them into chunks. To the water. I already blanched the chicken wings in
salted water. Let's take it out. Of course, you can add more chicken wings. This is all
the chicken wings I have. Now we're ready to cook. I'm turning the heat to medium high
and add some oil, about a tablespoon. First step, we're going to caramelize sugar. I'm going to use
rock sugar, about a teaspoon. You can use regular sugar. So this is a very typical step for stewing.
Now we see the bubbles and dark brown color. Now add our chicken wings.
You see the beautiful color. Turn the heat up. Wow, nice color, right? Isn't it? Now we add
garlic, ginger, white part of green onion and star anise. Mix it. Now we add
potatoes. Now add some salt and light soy sauce. Now we can add chicken stock,
or if you don't have it, you can add water. It's almost two-thirds way to the ingredients.
And bring this to boil. Now it's boiling. Let's turn down the heat to medium.
Cover it. Cook about 15 to 20 minutes. After about 15 minutes, let's check our stew.
Wow, looking good. How do we know they're done? Of course, we're going to check on the
potatoes, if we can poke through, which we can. Nice. They're done. Just give a minute.
Let the liquid evaporate. Turn the heat up. Okay, let me taste quickly. Come on.
Perfect. Let's finish with our green onion. Give a quick mix. And our chicken wing stew is ready.
Isn't it simple and quick? Wow. Cheers. Are you ready? I'm ready.
Wow. Wow. Chicken's so tender, right? Tender. Flavorful, too.
Wow, got a piece of that garlic. Right? The garlic. Amazing. So good.
Let's try the potatoes. Perfect. With such simple ingredients, right?
Don't need a cooking wine. Wow. Or use the chicken stock. If you even don't have chicken
stock, use water. Yeah. Wow. So simple. And this is such a quick stew. And now you know
how to caramelize sugar, not really give the color and flavor to the meat. If you like this video,
