Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

  • 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and sliced

  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced

  • 1 pound chicken wings

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 1 ½ cups water

  • 3 bay leaves

  • 1 teaspoon whole peppercorns

  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar

  • 1 teaspoon white sugar, or to taste

  • ¼ teaspoon fine salt, or to taste

Directions

  1. Whisk soy sauce, jalapeno peppers, and garlic together in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add chicken wings and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

  2. Remove chicken wings from the marinade and shake off excess. Reserve marinade.

  3. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Place chicken wings in the hot oil and pan-fry for 2 minutes per side. Slowly pour in reserved marinade (including garlic) and water. Bring to a boil. Add bay leaves and peppercorns and simmer until chicken is tender, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

  4. Stir in vinegar and cook for 5 minutes. Stir again and season with sugar and salt to taste. Serve hot.
