Instructions

1. Step 1

Step 1
Wash the chicken wings clean, cut a cross on both sides. Fry in oil until golden brown, then drain the oil. I used a very small pot and fried 3 pieces at a time, which saved oil relatively. The color may not be as yellow as it appears due to the lighting effect.

2. Step 2

Step 2
Cut the water chestnuts in half and then into rolling knife-cut pieces. Heat the pot, add a small amount of oil, and stir-fry the ginger slices and chili peppers until fragrant. Then add the chicken wings and water chestnuts, stir-fry together, and add sauce, salt, soy sauce, and red wine.

3. Step 3

Step 3
Add water to cover the chicken wings, bring to a boil, and then reduce the sauce as much as possible. Dish out.
