During a recent eat out, we did not have a good experience for my kids' favourite 虾酱鸡. The dish served was pathetic, for S$6.80, we got 4 tiny pieces of greasy and cold chicken wings! I can tell right away that it is a reheat dish.
So decided to serve this at home and let them eat till hearts content.
Usually, I will just marinate with my golden rule of 1kg wings to 1 heap tbsp shrimp paste. I did not bother to coat it with flour as this dish will be eaten up before even it gets cold.
Anyway, today I shall try making it as Crispy Shrimp Paste Chicken Wing (脆皮虾酱鸡翅).
Findings: I did not find any difference by adding in additional of sauces.
I believe the trick is to marinate it longer rather than adding more condiments.
Perhaps next time, I shall try to deep fried it rather than air bake them which is now my favorite cooking method for this dish.
What you need:
1 kg chicken wings
2 tbsp shrimp paste1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp cornflourPlain flour (coating)
Method:
In a bag, add in shrimp paste, sesame oil and corn flour. Rub thoroughly.
Add in chicken wings and rub the sauces with the wings. Seal and chill overnight.
Brush a layer of oil on the wings before air-frying.
Bake at 170°C for 6 mins and turn for another 6 mins or until golden.
Enjoy!
