One-Pot Sticky Chicken Wings
“A few years ago, I went to Malaysia for the first time and spent every second I could on New Lane in Penang. It’s arguably the single greatest street-food stroll in the world. Among the hundreds of stalls are a few that turn out chicken wings and chicken quarters glazed with the classic Chinese master sauce that I can’t eat enough of. Sticky and fatty, the best versions of this dish emulsify the chicken fat into the sauce as it reduces. Think of it as a schmaltz version of beurre monté! I wish I could insist that you fly to Penang to enjoy the best version of this yummy concoction, but that would be lying.” —Andrew Zimmern
