Chicken Wings Simmered in Marmalade

1. 1

   Put the chicken pieces in a single layer and pour some boiling water over them quickly.

2. 2

   Season with salt and pepper and leave for a while.

3. 3

   Put the ingredients marked - marmalade, soy sauce, sake, mirin, sliced garlic and water - into a pan.

4. 4

   When it comes to a boil add the chicken pieces so that they don't overlap each other.

5. 5

   Skim off the scum.

6. 6

   Keep the heat at medium to low so as not to burn the sauce.

7. 7

   Put an otoshibuta, or a piece of aluminum foil or kitchen parchment paper with several holes punched in it, right on top of the simmering food, and cook for about 40 minutes.

8. 8

   When the sauce has reduced to the point where you can see more than half of the chicken pieces above the surface, take out the meat only.

9. 9

   Turn up the heat a bit and keep reducing the sauce.

10. 10

    When the sauce is a little syrupy, re-add the chicken and stir to coat the pieces with the sauce.

11. 11

    Finish by drizzling a little bit of soy sauce on top.

12. 12

    If you reduce the sauce too much it will burn so please be careful.
