【Liaoning】Braised chestnut chicken wings

Overview

Years ago, her aunt sent her small chestnuts that she and her uncle had picked up in the mountains. They had already been shelled and peeled. Although they didn't look as good-looking as those sold in the market, they tasted sweet, glutinous and very delicious. The small oil chestnuts from the Northeast are very delicious, and the wild ones in the mountains are even more nutritious. During the Spring Festival holiday, I used it to make braised chestnut chicken wings. I originally wanted to use chicken nuggets, but the supermarket doesn't cut them up, and it's troublesome to prepare them at home. So I decided to buy medium wings, which taste delicious and are easier to cook. Chestnuts and chicken wings are a perfect match, with high nutritional value. The sweetness of chestnuts and the fatness of chicken wings complement each other. After frying together, the chestnut kernels change from hard to soft and glutinous, fully absorbing the flavor of the soup and chicken wings. It can be paired with rice and wine. Even on a day like the Spring Festival when you are numb to eating, it will still whet your appetite.
