Ingredients

• 1 lb chicken wings (split in half)
• salt (to taste)
• ground pepper (to taste)
• 1 tbsp light soy sauce
• 1 tbsp oyster sauce
• 2 tbsp cooking oil (for frying)
• 4 clove garlic (minced)
• 1 piece ginger (sliced (implied by 'the big three'))
• 2 scallions (cut into sections (implied by 'the big three'))

Steps

1. 1

   Split the chicken wings in half at the joint.

2. 2

   In a bowl, combine the chicken wings with salt, ground pepper, light soy sauce, and oyster sauce.

3. 3

   Give the chicken a 'Thai massage' by mixing and massaging the marinade into the meat thoroughly.

4. 4

   Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat.

5. 5

   Place the chicken wings in the pan and stir-fry until they are golden brown on all sides.

6. 6

   Add minced garlic to the pan and stir-fry over high heat until fragrant.

7. 7

   Add the 'big three' aromatics (typically ginger, garlic, and scallions) to the pan.

8. 8

   Mix everything well over high heat with a single hand (toss the pan) until the flavors are well combined and the chicken is fully cooked through.

9. 9

   Dish up and serve immediately.

Notes

The 'big three' in Chinese cooking typically refers to the aromatic trio of ginger, garlic, and scallions. The transcript mentions garlic separately first, then the 'big three' for the final toss.
