Braised Chicken Wing with Pineapple/波蘿燒雞翼

Another chicken wing recipe!  I have been making a lot of chicken wing dishes recently and my family loves it.  Who doesn't love chicken wings!  My daughter is already a chicken wing fan and she will eat chicken for every meal if she could.  When we give her chicken wings we always take off the skin so she can enjoy the flavourful meat which is the best part.  Unlike other parts of the chicken, chicken wings have less meat so it doesn't take long for them to absorb the flavours.  Every wing is wrapped by the skin, so the meat will stay tender and juicy after cooking.  

This is actually the very frist time I made this Braised Chicken Wing with Pineapple and it was so delicious!   The pineapples give a unique tropical flavour and it tastes a little bit sweet and refreshing.  Pineapples goes great with the chicken wings and I also served it along with some strawberries.   I just dropped these strawberries into the dish when it was ready to serve and the sauce goes great because it absorbs the flavour from the chicken and pineapple.  It turned out super delicious!  I think next time I may drop some kiwi into the dish and see how that turns out!  I believe cooking is all about experimenting and creativity. When you have the passion and you care, everything you make is delicious!
