Drunken Chicken Wings - 醉雞.

初次嘗試烹調醉雞.
由於我熱愛吃雞翼.
所以這次我擇用雞翼而不是全雞.






































調味料:

紹興花彫酒     2 cups.
魚露               1/3 cups.
糖                   6 teaspoons.(可按個人口味調節)
杞子               少許.


做法:

1) 先用鹽醃雞.

2) 再把雞翼煮熟, 撈起後用冰凍水喉水 過冷河, 熱脹冷縮的原理, 熱雞遇冷水會令雞翼的表皮 即收縮, 故雞翼會變得爽脆.

3) 待雞翼放涼後, 把調味料加入攪勻. 放入雪櫃泡浸至少3小時 (浸過夜會更入味).

4) 醉雞完成!把雞翼取出馬上享用. =)

P. S.
- 因為魚露本身已經帶有咸味, 所以浸雞汁中不須加鹽.
- 浸雞的汁可放入雪櫃, 下次再用.
