INGREDIENTS

Chicken wings- 1.5 pound

Water- half cup

Honey-1 tablespoon

Salt- as per taste

Oil- 1 tablespoon

Shaoxing Wine- 1 tablespoon

Sliced ginger- 1 tablespoon

Cornstarch- 1.5 tablespoon

Light Soy Sauce- 2 tablespoons

Star Anise- 1 or 2 (for extra flavour

Garlic cloves- 4

Sugar-1 teaspoon

Dark soy sauce- 1 tablespoon

Shallot- 1

DIRECTIONS

1 let’s prepare the chicken marination. Mix Shaoxing wine, salt, sugar, dark soy sauce and light soy sauce. Put your chicken wings in this margination and let it settle for 20 minutes.

2 set your instant pot to saute function. Het it till you see “HOT”.

3 cover the base of your instant pot with oil after that add the chicken wings one by one to your instant pot, and brown each side for the wings for about 30 seconds. Don’t keep one side for very long time because sugar tends to burn quick, and make sure at the same time that each side is browned correctly. Remove to chicken and set them aside once It’s brown.

4 keep the saute mode selected, next you reduce the heat to medium and add garlic, ginger, star anise and the shallot, and just to make sure that fragments are released stir for 30 seconds.

5 add honey-water mixture in your instant pot as long as the bottom of the instant pot is hot, mix honey in ½ of cup water, mix well.

6 set your chicken wings in this mixture and pour on all the leftover marinade. select high pressure mode for 5 minutes of course after closing the lid. Time up, so turn the heat off and release the pressure naturally ( around 10 minutes).

7 if you want to taste the seasoning (which I advise you to do), go ahead !, now, the mixture would have a watery consistency, but it will be thickened up. if you are a fun of spicy tastes ass in desired spices and let it stir till you get your favorite thick sauce.

8 okay now the mixture is thick as you want it, you remove your chicken wings and put them aside. Turn the heat to medium and select saute mode again. Mix the cornstarch with cold water. Add the cornstarch and water mixture 1/3 step by step to the instant pot and keep on stirring. You will notice that mixture become thicker and thicker. Keep mixing until you obtain the sauce you like.

9 finally you can add the chicken wings and coat them well in the sauce, serve with any remaining sauce you still have
