How to Make Braised Chicken Wings with Mushrooms

Braised Chicken Wings with Mushrooms is a savory, comforting dish that’s easy to prepare with tender chicken wings and umami-rich mushrooms. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to recreate this flavorful meal at home.

Ingredients:

- 8 chicken wings (split at the joint)

- 200g shiitake mushrooms (stems removed, caps halved)

- 3 cloves garlic (minced)

- 1 tbsp ginger (grated)

- 2 tbsp soy sauce

- 1 tbsp oyster sauce

- 1 tsp sugar

- 1 cup chicken broth

- 1 tbsp vegetable oil

- Sesame seeds and green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prep the wings: Rinse chicken wings and pat dry. Marinate in soy sauce, half the minced garlic, and ginger for 15 minutes.

2. Sear the wings: Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add wings and sear until golden brown on both sides (about 4 minutes per side). Remove and set aside.

3. Cook the mushrooms: In the same pan, sauté the remaining garlic and ginger until fragrant. Add mushrooms and stir-fry until softened (3–4 minutes).

4. Braise together: Return wings to the pan. Add oyster sauce, sugar, and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 20–25 minutes, until wings are tender and the sauce thickens.

5. Finish and serve: Uncover and increase heat slightly to reduce the sauce further if desired. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve hot with steamed rice.

This dish pairs perfectly with the earthy flavor of mushrooms and the succulent, saucy wings—a crowd-pleaser for any meal!
