Chinese Scallion Ginger Chicken (葱姜油鸡)

This recipe was inspired by a Chinese cooking show that I watched, called 美女私房菜.  Her recipe called for cooking the chicken in a spice soy sauce broth and then deep-fry the chicken until crispy before adding the scallion ginger fragrant sauce on top.  I bookmarked it because it seem so interesting.  My chance came when I had some leftover oven roasted chicken wings and drumettes.   While I was thinking of what to make of this leftover wings, her recipe came to mind.  So, I pan-fried my wings and drumettes and then cooked this scallion ginger fragrant and put it on top of the chicken to serve.  I truly loved this scallion ginger fragrant sauce and it can easily be used to top with fried fish, deep-fried pork ribs, shrimps, or anything you can think of.  My attempt at recreating a leftover to another new dish. 

Ingredients:

Leftover bbq/oven roasted chicken wings (about 8-10 wings and drumettes)

• 3 Tbsp. chopped scallion
• 3 Tbsp. minced ginger
• 1 tsp. chicken powder
• 1/4 tsp. white pepper

Method:

1.  In a hot wok, add in some cooking oil.  When heated, gently drop in the wings and drumettes in batches.  Pan-fry until heated through and crispy.  Dish out and place on a serving plate.

2.  In the same wok, scoop out some of the oil, just left about 1 Tbsp. of oil in the wok.  Add in ginger and scallion and stir-fry until fragrant.  Season with chicken powder and white pepper.  Pour this fragrant on top of the wings and drumettes to serve.
