How to make...

1. Blend shallots, garlic, ground coriander, and salt into a smooth paste. Set aside.
2. Heat water in a pan, add the chicken wings and the spice paste. Stir well and cook until the chicken is half-cooked.
3. Mix in the remaining ingredients (sweet soy sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, etc.). Stir thoroughly, bring to a boil, and adjust the taste as needed.
4. Simmer the chicken until the liquid has reduced and the flavors have soaked into the meat. Remove the chicken and drain.
5. The chicken can be grilled using an air fryer or oven, or it can be fried. For the air fryer, cook at 200°C (392°F) for 15 minutes. If frying, cook in hot oil until slightly crispy.
6. Enjoy the Spicy Chicken Wings with hot steamed rice or crispy french fries for the perfect pairing.
