Thera are many ways to cook this homey dish. Everyone has his or her own version. Some uses spices, others prefer to cook it plain. Of course, it will be ideal to use a premium soy sauce for this dish. The basic rule for this dish is to transform the chicken wings into sweet sticky soy sauce wings.
At first I thought that this dish originate from Switzerland. Later I found out that actually that was not the case. Apparently they were first called this way when a waiter couldn’t pronounce the word ‘sweet’ wings properly. The diner who asked the name of this dish mistaken it as ‘Swiss wings”. It has then been popularly called “Swiss chicken wings”.
