Swiss wings is a dish with origins disputed between Hong Kong and Guangzhou, China. The dish consists of chicken wings that are similar to soy-sauce chicken wings, only with a sweeter sauce. The wings are usually marinated in a combination of sugar, soy sauce, Chinese wine, and spices such as star anise, garlic, and ginger.
The gleaming sauce clings to the chicken wings, which are poached, then slowly simmered in the sauce until it's reduced to a thick and glossy consistency.

White cut chicken (also known as Cantonese poached chicken) is a beloved traditional dish consumed during Chinese festivals and holidays, and especially on Chinese New Year. The dish consists of salted chicken that is cooked in water with chopped green onions, ginger, cooking wine, Sichuan peppercorns, and sesame oil.
When prepared, it is transferred to a bowl filled with ice water in order to chill. Once entirely chilled, the chicken is served whole or cut into large chunks, typically accompanied by ginger scallion sauce and chili sauce, used as dips. Traditionally, Chinese people poach and serve the whole chicken, with its head and feet attached.
MAIN INGREDIENTS
Roast squabs, domesticated farm-raised young pigeons, are one of the unique delicacies originating from the Chinese Cantonese region. Traditionally, young squabs under four weeks of age are roasted and served whole, including the head and feet.
To prepare the meat for roasting, squabs are usually marinated or shortly braised in hot water and left to dry. Before or during cooking, the insides are spiced with five spice powder, and squab's skin is glazed with a mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, vinegar, ginger, honey or sugar, and occasionally hoisin sauce.
This technique provides the lacquered appearance, a dark amber color, and an incredibly crunchy texture of the skin.
