Sugar Braised Chicken Wings Founded with the vision of creating a trusted information source
This sugar braised chicken wing recipe is one of my favorites. And as the very first recipe post on Spice the Plate, I couldn’t think of a better dish to share with you guys.
Instead of granulated sugar, I used crystal sugar for this dish. It is a very common type of sugar widely used for Chinese cooking, some people like to call it Chinese rock sugar. (Crystal sugar can be easily found in most Asian grocery stores.)
The difference between crystal sugar and granulated sugar is that crystal sugar is slightly less sweet in taste. So feel free to substitute it with granulated sugar.
Below is a recap of how I made this dish.
I hope you enjoy making this tasty sugar braised chicken wings at home. If you like this recipe, please give a rating and share it with your friends!

Notes
1.Immerse the chicken wings in cold water first and then bring it to boil helps the blood in the chicken wings to come out.
2.The use of boiled water in step 5 could help keep the chicken wings tender compared to using cold water.
