Canh Ga Xa Xiu (Vietnamese / Chinese Char Siu-Style Barbecued Chicken Wings)

Canh Ga Xa Xiu (Vietnamese  Chinese Char Siu-Style Barbecued Chicken Wings) 1

Lazy post. Lazy recipe. :)

Unless you specifically want to make Chinese barbecue-styled chicken wings, the easiest thing to do is to toss in a few pounds of wings in the same pan that you're making Xa Xiu/Char Siu (Vietnamese Chinese Barbecued Pork).

I mean seriously, why make more work for yourself than necessary?

But just for you, I've included the recipe for the marinade below in case you love wings that much, or don't eat pork, or what have you.

Adapted from my recipe for Xa Xiu/Char Siu (Vietnamese Chinese Barbecued Pork).

For about 3 lbs of chicken wings, you'll need:
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup ketchup
3 tblsp hoisin sauce
2 tblsp oyster sauce
2 tblsp xiao hsing white wine
2 tblsp honey
1 tblsp brown sugar
1 tblsp sesame oil
2 tsp Chinese five-spice powder
2 tsp salt

Mix together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup ketchup, 3 tblsp hoisin sauce, 2 tblsp oyster sauce, 2 tblsp xiao hsing white wine, 2 tblsp honey, 1 tblsp brown sugar, 1 tblsp sesame oil, 2 tsp Chinese five-spice powder, and 2 tsp salt.

Rub the marinade all over the chicken wings and bake in the oven at 350 degrees for about 60 to 90 minutes. Well, I baked the wings with a several pound hunk of pork shoulder, as you can see in the back, so your cooking times might vary if you're baking just the wings alone.

Check at the half hour mark and flip the wings over and bake for another half hour. Poke the chicken with the tip of a chopstick and if the juices run clear, the chicken is done. If not, continue baking for another 15 minutes to half an hour.

Sticky, slightly sweet, with the aroma of Chinese five-spice powder. If you like Chinese barbecued pork, you'll like this wings.
