14 whole chicken wings
2 tablespoons chinese rice wine or 2 tablespoons dry sherry
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 pinch white pepper
1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon chinese rice wine or 1 tablespoon dry sherry
1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon cooking oil
3 small dried red chilies, whole
6 slices ginger, each the size of a quarter, lightly crushed
2 green onions, halved
1 cinnamon stick
1/2 teaspoon szechuan peppercorns, toasted
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch, dissolved in 1 tbs water

1
Remove tips from chicken wings (can save them to make chicken stock). Cut wings apart at joint.
2
Combine the 2 tbs rice wine, 1 tbs soy sauce, and white pepper in a bowl or ziplock bag. Mix well then add chicken wings to coat. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
3
Meanwhile, combine broth, dark soy sauce, remaining rice wine, and brown sugar in a small bowl to make sauce.
4
Place wok over high heat until hot. Add oil and chilies, swirling to coat sides of wok. Add chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes. Add ginger, green onions, cinnamon stick, and peppercorns. Stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the sauce, bring to a boil then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until wings are tender when pierced, about 12 minutes.
5
Remove and discard chilies, ginger, green onions and cinnamon stick. Add cornstarch solution. Cook, stirring, until sauce boils and thickens and wings are glazed.
6
Serve hot.
