Cooking Instructions
- 1
Arrange the chicken wingettes skin-side down in a skillet. You don’t need to add oil since the chicken will release its own fat, but if your pan tends to stick, lightly oil it.
- 2
Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, skin-side down. Move the chicken around occasionally to ensure even browning.
- 3
Be careful—hot oil may splatter. If you see smoke, that means it’s starting to burn, so lower the heat.
- 4
Once the skin is nicely browned, turn off the heat and flip the chicken over.
- 5
Cover with a lid and cook over low heat for 5 minutes to steam.
- 6
Check the largest piece by gently pulling it apart with chopsticks; if the inside is white and cooked through, it’s done.
- 7
Turn off the heat and sprinkle the salt and chicken bouillon powder evenly over the chicken. Toss well so the seasonings melt into the fat and coat the wings.

Spicy Nagoya-Style Chicken Wings Spicy Nagoya-Style Chicken Wings
These are the speciality of a famous restaurant in Nagoya, so I took on the challenge of recreating it at home.Cook the chicken wings all the way through. When you coat them with the sauce, if you let them sit for too long the sauce will get too oily, so work fast and take them out quickly. If you don't like spicy food, go easy on the black pepper. The wings are just as good with the sweet and salty sauce alone. Recipe by YU-RI cookpad.japan -
