    Marinate the chicken wings: Put the chicken wings in a resealable bag, add 2 parts cooking wine, 1 part light soy sauce, 1 part oyster sauce, and ginger slices. Marinate for 15-20 minutes, turning them halfway to ensure they are fully marinated. 2. Blanch the chicken wings: Pour water into a pot, add the chicken wings, ginger slices, scallion sections, and cooking wine. Start with cold water in the pot, and after the water boils, skim off any foam. Blanch for about 5 minutes, then remove and drain the water. 3. Pan-fry the chicken wings: In a separate pan, add cooking oil. When the oil is hot, place the chicken wings in the pan and pan-fry over medium-low heat until both sides are golden brown, turning them frequently.
