unveils the secret of Wong Ah Wah chicken wing in Jalan Alor
Coming back home without going to jalan Alor to visit Wong
Ah Wah Chicken wing restaurant that will not be my happy holiday at all in my
hometown
This is probably one of the best charcoal grilled babeque
chicken wind in the world. I think many of Malaysian would absolutely agreed with my opinion.
On my last night , I took very little dinner at home that
dad prepared specially for me ā The Hakka Salted Free range Chicken it was also one of my
beloved dishes but I managed not to eat too much and allow some
space for my wings.
I got there just before midnight with my friend Bernard who
hails from Penang who is very proud of
their Penang hawker stall food and I try to tell him this is
probably one of the best in the world. He was impressed after the first bite than say better than Penang lah.....
After been traveling for a while I noticed they already
opened another shop which is now 5 shops in a row like a little empire of
chicken wing business at this popular area of jalan Alor.
My friend was very impressed with the smokey taste and
lightly honey marinated taste taste and not too sticky not others stall or too
over powering with soy glazed.
This time I detemind to find out how they archivevd the
smokey taste ....
I went to the kitchen and spoken to the chef and he allow to grill the wings for one of the order.
and he share some tips with me too...
My mission accomplished with happy face ..
Do you mind sharing the tips as well? :)

This is what the chef told me at Wong Ah wah
1 kg Chicken wing
marinate
200ml soy
50 ml honey
20g pepper
30g garlic finely chopped
50g spring onion
25g ginger
Method as follow
1. Pound the ginger and spring onion strain use just the juice
2. combine all ingredients marinade over night
3. Allow the the wing to smoke before to grilling it - see photo above, thats the secret of the smoky taste
4. Regular basting the wings while grilling the wings takes about 15 minute - as i was there to see the wing being done !
A very homemade hainanese chicken chili sauce will go yum with the wings !
Enjoy
