About

Two iconic Australian suburban Chinese dishes have to be honey chicken and lemon chicken. In this recipe, I combine both and use chicken wings... because I love them. It’s a terribly simple dish and super popular at Mr Wong.

Ingredients

Chicken Wings

100 ml (3½ fl oz) Shaoxing wine
1½ tablespoons sesame oil

Method

Chicken Wings

To make a marinade, put all the ingredients except the chicken wings in a large bowl and mix thoroughly. Add the wings and massage the marinade into them with your hands. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
