Oyster sauce is a common ingredient in Chinese cuisine. While there are a number of recipes for oyster sauce, the most common one creates a condiment mainly consisting of cornstarch, sugar, and oyster extract. There are even some vegetarian oyster sauces that replace oyster extract with shiitake mushroom.
Oyster sauce adds a savory flavor to any dish and is an absolute staple for cooking Chinese Cuisine. MSG is often added to enhance the oyster flavor, but there are many MSG free varieties available. MSG has been known to cause headaches or discomfort in some people but for those unaffected, it is safe to consume.
This baked chicken oyster sauce recipe is great for anyone who lacks a deep fryer. The fact that the chicken is baked rather than fried also makes these wings slightly healthier. This is an easy, flavorful recipe that makes an appetizer that can be served hot or cold.

Recipe Variations
