Frugal Recipe: Peking Chicken Wings


By Helen Chin Lui of The Healing Place in Medfield, MA 

We love this Peking Chicken Wings recipe. They are sweet and hot. Depending on your taste buds, you can make them mild to hot to fire engine hot. This recipe calls for 4 lbs of chicken wing for my Chin/Lui gathering, 4 pounds is not nearly enough. We normally entertain about 30 people and I have to make at least 12 pounds of wings. The recipe is easy to make. Most of the time is inactive due to marinating the wings in refrigerator.
  • Prep time:  30 minutes
  • Inactive time – 4 hours or marinade overnight in refrigerator

Ingredients:
  • In a large bowl mix together:
  • ½ c regular, lite, low sodium, gluten free, soy sauce
  • ¼ c of dry sherry
  •     *Note: I have used sweet sherry and it was still good.
