Dark soy sauce along with regular soy sauce is what gives these wings their rich color (if you can\u2019t find it, use regular soy sauce). We like to use all flats\u2013arguably the best part of the wing!\u2014but a mix with drumettes or whole wings works too.

Preparation<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. \n

    Five-Spice Powder<\/h3>\n

    Step 1<\/h4>\n

    Toast cassia, star anise, cloves, sand ginger (if using), Sichuan peppercorns, licorice root, black peppercorns, and white peppercorns (if using) in a small skillet over medium, tossing once, until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Let cool; grind to a powder in spice mill or coffee grinder.<\/p>\n

    Step 2<\/h4>\n

    Do Ahead:<\/strong> Five-Spice Powder can be made 1 month ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Chicken Wings and Assembly<\/h3>\n

    Step 3<\/h4>\n

    Mix half of ginger, \u00bc cup dark soy sauce, and 1 tsp. Five-Spice Powder in a medium bowl. Add wings; toss to coat. Cover and chill at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours.<\/p>\n

    Step 4<\/h4>\n

    Heat oil in a wok or large deep-sided skillet over medium-high. Add shallot, scallions, garlic, chile, and remaining ginger and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add rock sugar, star anise, licorice root (if using), cassia, white pepper (if using), Sichuan peppercorns, and remaining 1 tsp. Five-Spice Powder and stir to combine. Pour in low-sodium soy sauce, remaining \u00bc cup dark soy sauce, and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low.<\/p>\n

    Step 5<\/h4>\n

    Lift chicken wings out of marinade; discard marinade. Add wings to wok and pour wine over. Stir gently, then bring to a simmer. Cover and cook over medium-low 15 minutes. Gently stir, then cover again and continue cooking until chicken is cooked through and a deep brown color, about 15 minutes longer. Using a spider or slotted spoon, transfer wings to a plate.<\/p>\n

    Step 6<\/h4>\n

    Pour liquid in wok through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl; discard solids. Return strained liquid to wok and bring to a simmer over medium-high. Cook until sauce thickly coats a spoon, 10\u201312 minutes. Return chicken wings to sauce and toss to coat. Using a spider or slotted spoon, transfer to a platter. Serve with cucumbers if using.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
