Jamie says
I had 3.5 lbs of chicken wings to use up. Love how quick, easy and tasty this was. I did this stovetop using about 1.25-1.5x the amount of sauce for this recipe. Also added a little five spice powder. It was a little tough to get the chicken all covered in the sauce and definitely had to flip to make sure it was evenly coated. Thanks for the recipe!

Hi Jamie,
Thank you for your comment!
Victoria says
I used 1.5 kgs chicken wings and used only 1 cup of soy sauce ( didn't have dark soy sauce) and added a dash of mixing, it turns out so beautifully that I'm getting massive compliments from my hardest critics- the kids! I doubled the cooking time to 10 mins pressure cooker and natural release for 30 mins. This recipe is a keeper! Thank you
Jonas says
This was delicious! I made this in a regular pot, for 20 minutes covered and on a low simmer after bringing to boil.
Tracy O. says
Thank you Jonas for your comment! I am glad you like it too!

To make it crispy can you broil it for a little and use remaining sauce in pot to coat as well?
Tracy O. says
If you want to make it crispy, I will use other methods to cook it like pan fry, bake or air fry them. But, you can use the sauce to marinate the chicken wings overnight.
Dandelion says
I tweaked the recipe a little.. I added 1 cup water to half cup soy sauce.. replaced brown sugar with three tbs of pure honey.. used 600 grams of chicken and it turns out great~~~ the soy sauce in Taiwan is too saltish, thus the 1 cup to half portion.. 🙂

I do not have a pressure cooker so what can I do instead please.
Tracy O. says
You can cook them over the stove. Turn on medium high fire, add sesame oil, garlic and ginger. Stir fry them a little bit. Add chicken wings and the sauce. Let it cook until it’s boiling. Then, turn the fire to small and simmer for 15-20 mins depending on the size of the chicken wings or legs. (Try to flip them while simmering.)
