Braised Chicken Wings (with Cinnamon & Star Anise)

Finally got 2 more key condiments in my kitchen - Cinnamon and star anise! Decided to try using them (my very first attempt!) in making braised chicken wings.


It turned out real nice!
Ingredients
- Chicken wings
- 1 1/2 Cinnamon sticks
- 3-4 Star Anise
- 1/4 cup dark soy sauce
- 1/4 cup light soy sauce
- 1/4 cup rice wine/hua tiao wine
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 3 slices of ginger
- Ground pepper
- 1 small piece of rock sugar
- 1 cup water

Method
- Put all the ingredients except the chicken wings into a pot and bring to a boil
- Put all the chicken wings in when it comes to a boil and lower the fire to a gentle simmer
- Cook till the chicken wings look really 入味

Going to use the leftover sauce to make "Loh Neng" or 卤蛋, yum yum!
