This comforting Cantonese-style dish transforms humble chicken wings into a savory, aromatic delight. The wings are browned until golden, then simmered gently with chunky russet potatoes, yellow onions, ginger, and garlic in a rich, curry-infused sauce. The result is meat that falls off the bone and potatoes that have absorbed the deep, warm flavors of the spices. It&# 226;€™s a perfect example of home-style Chinese cooking, where simple ingredients create complex, satisfying tastes. Ideal for a cozy weeknight dinner or as a flavorful side dish that pairs beautifully with steamed rice.

Description

This comforting Cantonese-style dish transforms humble chicken wings into a savory, aromatic delight. The wings are browned until golden, then simmered gently with chunky russet potatoes, yellow onions, ginger, and garlic in a rich, curry-infused sauce. The result is meat that falls off the bone and potatoes that have absorbed the deep, warm flavors of the spices. It&# 226;€™s a perfect example of home-style Chinese cooking, where simple ingredients create complex, satisfying tastes. Ideal for a cozy weeknight dinner or as a flavorful side dish that pairs beautifully with steamed rice.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Trim the tips off the chicken wings and discard or save for stock. Cut the remaining wings at the joint to separate them into drumettes and flats.
  2. Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into large chunks. Slice the yellow onion into small wedges.
  3. In a heavy-bottomed 3-quart saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat.
  4. Add the crushed ginger and garlic to the hot oil and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add the chicken wings to the pot and brown them on all sides, stirring occasionally, for about 4 minutes.
  6. Add the potato chunks, onion wedges, salt, curry powder, sugar, sherry, chicken broth, oyster sauce, and ketchup to the pot.
  7. Stir everything together well, then bring the mixture to a boil.
  8. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer gently for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and the potatoes are cooked through.
  9. Add the sliced green onions during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  10. Remove from heat and let stand for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
