Parkyard Hotel Shanghai - Chicken Wings |... →
Some really nice and tasty oven baked marinated chicken wings, simply caramelised in its own juice with a dash of soja sauce and some julienned ginger. Even though you might think i made a mistake as they look like ribs, but rest assure, i did not. It is just the way we trimmed them. We just cut off both ends for them to ressemble ribs.
