Serves 4

You will need: for Sticky Ginger Soy Chicken Niblets

1kg chicken niblets (or wings)
3 tbsp dark soy sauce
2 rounded tbsp dark brown sugar
1 rounded tsp minced ginger
1/2 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp corn flour

For garnishing:
spring onions, finely sliced
sesame seeds

Method:

1. Add all of the ingredients to a mixing bowl along with the chicken niblets. Note, if you replace the dark soy sauce with light soy sauce you may want to use a little less as light soy sauce is saltier than dark soy sauce. Marinate the niblets for at least 30 minutes.

2. Fry the niblets in a hot pan with a little cooking oil; fry them uncovered for 3 – 4 minutes each side, then cover and allow to fully cook through to the middle over a medium/low flame for a further 8 – 10 minutes.

3. When you cook the niblets covered you will notice they release some liquid, uncover them and keep frying until the liquid reduces slightly. Add in the remaining marinade and allow the juices to reduce until thick and sticky, then remove from the heat.

4. Place the niblets in a bowl, garnish with finely sliced spring onions and sesame seeds (toast them beforehand if you want a golden colour). Serve hot and enjoy!

    Hi, I’m thinking of making this today. Can I use normal sugar instead of dark/light brown sugar?

      It won’t be sticky in the same way and caramelise the way it should, I would recommend buying brown sugar tbh. x

    Hi. Would it be okay to use whole chicken instead? And can I oven them instead of fry?

      I’m sure you could use a whole chicken cut up yes, but I wouldn’t advise using a whole chicken without cutting it into smaller pieces for this. x

      I would only oven bake them if you keep the skin on the chicken pieces, else it will become very dry and not moist.

    This recipe is perfect for stir fry! I used the marinade on salmon and used what was left over to coat and cook rice noodles. I added stir fry veggies and fried two eggs along with the noodles. Very tasty. ThanksπŸ’›

    Can I use regular flour instead of corn flour?

      You can do if you’re unable to get hold of cornflour, cornflour helps thickens the sauce better. x
