Recipe - Chicken Wings With Oyster Sauce

10 Chicken wings; (up to 12)
1 sl Fresh ginger
Vegetable oil for frying
wings
3 tablespoon Oyster sauce *; up to 4
2 tablespoon Soy sauce
1 tablespoon Dry sherry
One half teaspoon Sugar
1 cup Water

Divide chicken wings into 2 pieces by separating the large joint from the
vshaped piece.

In a wok or large skillet, add ginger slice and enough oil to cover bottom
of pan and heat until hot. Brown the wings (cook half at a time so as not
to overcrowd skillet).

Pour out excess oil and discard ginger slice. Add all remaining ingredients
to wok or skillet, cover and simmer 10 minutes. Remove lid and cook another
1015 minutes, or until wings are tender and sauce is reduced. During
cooking, baste wings frequently with sauce. When done, wings should be
coated with a heavy glaze of sauce.

*Available at many supermarkets and at Oriental and specialty food shops.
