The garlic aroma is fragrant and goes well with rice, turning a tired night into a little happiness. This dish is so simple that even a kitchen novice can make it. Come and make it with me, and we can also be quick chefs and eat delicious food!
Inspiration: From leftover garlic to a magical tool for rice
Two nights ago, I got home from get off work and collapsed on the sofa to browse my phone. My stomach was growling like a protest. I opened the refrigerator and saw that there were only a few chicken wings and a wilted garlic left. I thought it would be a pity to throw it away, so I might as well make something to eat. My friend Xiaoli said a while ago: "When you fry chicken wings with garlic, the aroma is so good that people next door will knock on the door!" I immediately got excited, washed my knife and started to work, turning the inspiration of leftovers into kitchen motivation. As a result, the aroma filled the house as soon as it came out of the pot, and our city night was really lit up. Sisters, try it too, the garlic aroma is really delicious!
Ingredients preparation: A few common dishes, saving money and fast
The ingredients for this dish are very simple, you can just look around at home, the cost is so low that it makes you laugh, let's take a look:
- Chicken wings: 6-8 (medium wings are the best, the meat is juicy and tender, and you can grab them at the supermarket)
- Garlic: 5-6 cloves (the soul of garlic flavor, add more to make it flavorful, smash it and set aside)
- Chopped green onions: a little (to enhance the flavor and add appearance, just grab some)
- Light soy sauce: 2 spoons (a magic tool for freshness, the taste is more fragrant)
- Oyster sauce: 1 spoon (the secret to enhancing the flavor, the chicken wings are more flavorful)
- Salt: 1 teaspoon (basic seasoning, just the right amount)
- Cooking oil: 2 spoons (a must-have for cooking, the fragrance depends on it)
- Optional chili: 1-2 dried chili (add some if you like spicy food, slightly spicy to stimulate the appetite)
With a cost of less than 10 yuan, we can also fry it like a restaurant. Don't panic if you are a kitchen novice, just prepare these! I always prepare more garlic every time I cook, and I double the fragrance. Are you ready, sisters?
Steps: 15 minutes, the kitchen is full of fragrance
This dish is so fast, let's do it in four steps, it's so simple that it seems like a joke, just follow it:
Step 1: Process the chicken wings and cut them to taste
Wash the chicken wings, cut two cuts on each side, it doesn't matter if I cut them crookedly, anyway, the most important thing is to taste them. Put them in a bowl after cutting, add 1 spoon of light soy sauce and half a spoon of salt, mix them evenly and marinate for 10 minutes. I was marinating while browsing my phone, and I turned the preparation time into a fishing time. My fellow rider Lao Wang said: "Cut the cuts are the key, otherwise the chicken wings will be like stones!" I am also happy, this step is simple, and the fragrance depends on it.
Step 2: Sauté the minced garlic and start the aroma
Heat 2 spoons of oil in a pan, add the crushed minced garlic, stir-fry on low heat until golden, and when the fragrance comes out, I almost can't help but sneak a bite. After the garlic is fried, put it aside for use. I always fry more, and the kitchen becomes a fragrant scene. Sisters online said: "Garlic aroma is the soul, slow frying over low heat will bring out the flavor." Let's try it, it's really so fragrant that people can't stop eating!
Step 3: Put the chicken wings in the pan and fry until golden
Add some oil to the hot pan, put the marinated chicken wings skin down, fry on medium heat for 3 minutes, turn over and fry for another 3 minutes, fry until both sides are golden. I almost forgot to turn it over when I was frying, but fortunately I saved the situation quickly and fried it out of the "restaurant style". After frying, add 1 spoon of oyster sauce and 1 spoon of light soy sauce, stir fry evenly, and the chicken wings are coated with sauce, which makes me drool. This step is not difficult, and we lazy people can also fry it well!
Step 4: Add garlic aroma, serve it out of the pan
Pour the fried minced garlic back, add some water (half a bowl is enough), cover the pot and simmer for 2 minutes to make the chicken wings more flavorful. Sprinkle chopped green onions with the lid open, and throw two sections of dried chili if you like spicy food, stir fry a few times and turn off the heat. I served it to the table, took a bite, and it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The garlic aroma was so fragrant that I had to eat two more bowls of rice. It was done in 15 minutes, and washing the pot was redundant. This quick dish saved the night after get off work!
Tips: Lazy people can also fry it well
I have summarized a few tips for making this dish, which can also be used by kitchen novices:
- Secret to tender chicken wings: Don’t be lazy when cutting, and marinate for 10 minutes. I tried not marinating, but it was a little less flavorful.
- Tips for rich garlic flavor: Use the minced garlic twice, half for sautéing and the other half for finishing. The aroma is superimposed, which makes the chicken wings more upscale.
- Tips for non-stick pans: Heat the pan thoroughly before frying, and add a little more oil. I forgot this step and almost made the chicken wings stick like a picture.
- Fine-tune the taste: If you like sweet, add half a spoonful of honey, and if you like spicy, add more chili. I just adjusted it casually and it tasted unique.
These tips are simple and practical. Try them after get off work and you can turn ordinary chicken wings into a magical dish to go with rice!
