Ingredients
16 whole chicken wings, flap segments removed and saved for stock
1/3 cup sake
1/3 cup soy sauce
4 tablespoons brown sugar (If you like it sweeter, add more. You can check the flavor of the sauce at any time and I encourage you to do so.)
3 tablespoons mirin
3 tablespoons oyster sauce
4 large thin slices fresh ginger
2 cloves star anise
1 dried hot chile
1 cinnamon stick
Shaved green onions, for garnish
Sesame seeds, for garnish
Directions
Place a 14-inch nonstick saute pan over high heat. Add the chicken and dry-sear to lightly brown the chicken. Add the sake, soy sauce, 1/3 cup water, brown sugar, mirin, oyster sauce, ginger, star anise, dried chile and cinnamon stick and bring to a simmer. Cook, covered, about 12 minutes.
Uncover and simmer until the pan is almost dry, tossing frequently to coat the wings, 10 to 12 minutes. Skim off the fat if you like, and serve, garnishing with scallion shavings and sesame seeds. I like to emulsify the chicken fat into the sauce by turning up the heat at the last minute to boil the fat into the other liquids.

Seems like Tchoupitoulas is quite a different recipe, based on what you posted about it. I definitely intend to try it. I'm sure I'll screw it up, but I'm willing to try![]()
That chicken wing recipe just doesn't sound good to me and, unless you keep cinnamon sticks, sake, mirin, fresh ginger, anise and oyster sauce around, you're gonna have to go to an asian market and get a bunch of stuff you'll end up throwing away most of....because I would bet you never make it again.
But good luck if you do make and please let me know what you thought about it.
