Fujian red wine chicken
Fujian red wine chicken is a delicious and fragrant dish originating from the Fujian province in China. It is made by marinating chicken pieces in a mixture of red wine, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and various spices. The chicken is then braised until tender, resulting in a flavorful and aromatic dish. It's often served with steamed rice or noodles.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken pieces, (such as drumsticks or thighs)
- 1 cup red wine (preferably Chinese rice wine or Shaoxing wine)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 thumb-sized ginger peeled and thinly sliced
- 2 green onions chopped
- 1 star anise (optional)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the red wine, soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, minced garlic, sliced ginger, chopped green onions, and star anise (if using). Mix well to create the marinade.
- Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and coat them thoroughly. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for more intense flavors.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade for later) and place it in the hot pan. Brown the chicken on all sides, about 5 minutes.
- Pour the reserved marinade into the pan with the chicken. Bring it to a boil and then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pan and let the chicken simmer for about 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender. Stir occasionally.
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pan and place it on a serving dish. Increase the heat to medium-high and let the sauce reduce for a few minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired. Serve the Fujian red wine chicken hot with steamed rice or noodles.
