Ingredients

  • 8 chicken drumsticks
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 2 tbsp shaoxing wine

Spices

  • 1 star anise
  • 1 cinnimon stick
  • 2 dried chili peppers
  • 2 bay leaves
  • ginger slices

Sauce

  • 2 cup water
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Chinese dark soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp sugar

Veggies (optional)

  • carrot sliced
  • green peppers sliced

Instructions

  • Use a paring knife to score the surface of the chicken drumsticks.
  • Heat up a wok over medium heat and brown the chicken skin with 1 tbsp of oil. Deglaze the pan with 2 tbsp of Shaoxing wine.
  • Add the ingredients from the “spice” and “sauce” sections to the wok and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, remove the foamy part of the broth, cover the wok with a lid, and let it simmer for 20 minutes, turning the chicken occasionally.
  • After 20 minutes, turn up the heat, add the vegetables you like to cook together with the chicken, and stir frequently.
  • Cook until the sauce thickens and 90% of the remaining broth has evaporated. Enjoy!
