Slightly modified Crispy Baked Chicken Wings by Fifteen Spatulas. Par boiling completely makes this recipe. The secret ingredient is Char Sui.

Recipe type: Appetiser
Cuisine: Japanese
Ingredients
  • 2 lbs chicken wing pieces
  • salt
  • 3 tbsp Frank's hot sauce
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbs evo
  • 3 tbsp Char Sui chinese bbq sauce
  • ground cayenne pepper to taste, optional
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  2. Heat up a big pot of boiling water. Season the water like you would for cooking pasta (taste the
  3. water, it should taste a little repulsively salty, like sea water).
  4. Boil the chicken wings for 7-8 minutes, then remove them to a wire rack so the excess water can
  5. drain off. Let them drip dry a little bit, then dry them well with a paper towel.
  6. Place the chicken wings directly on a sheet pan. Bake the chicken wings for 25-30 minutes on one
  7. side, then flip the wings and bake for another 5 minutes on the other side. The wings should have
  8. crispy crackly golden skin on the side that was in contact with the sheet pan.
  9. In a small saucepan or in the microwave, heat up the hot sauce, butter, evo Char Sui and
  10. cayenne pepper, if using, until melted and combined. Toss the hot wings in the sauce, and serve
  11. immediately. Gobble them up while they're still crisp, and coated with sauce. Enjoy!
Notes
Updated note about cooking time: Chicken wings sold in grocery stores vary in size, so if you have
smaller wings, you will probably only need to bake them for a total of 25-30 minutes. I've always done
around 40 for mine, but they've been large wings.

Perfect Chicken Breast

Found this on google searching the above title:
Author:
Ingredients
  • 1 to 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon freshly chopped herbs (optional)
  • Olive oil
  • ½ tablespoon butter
  • Equipment
  • 10-inch sauté pan with lid
Instructions
  1. Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness with the handle or flat of a knife.
  2. Lightly salt and pepper the chicken breasts.
  3. Mix about a half teaspoon of salt in with the flour along with a little pepper. Chop the herbs finely, if using, and mix in as well.
  4. Quickly dredge the chicken breasts in the flour, so that they are just lightly dusted with flour.
  5. Heat the sauté pan over medium-high heat. When it is quite hot, add the olive oil and butter. Let them melt, and swirl the pan.
  6. Turn the heat to medium. Add the chicken breasts. Cook for just about 1 minute to help them get a little golden on one side (you are not actually searing or browning them). Then flip each chicken breast over.
  7. Turn the heat to low. Put the lid on the pan. Set a timer for 10 minutes, and walk away. Do not lift the lid; do not peek.
  8. After 10 minutes have elapsed, turn off the heat. Reset the timer for 10 minutes and leave the chicken breasts in the pan. Again, do not lift the lid; do not peek.
  9. After the 10 minutes are up, take the lid off, and tada! Soft, tender, juicy chicken breasts that aren’t dried out in the least. Doublecheck them to make sure there is no pink in the middle. Slice and eat.
