Swiss wing (simplified Chinese: 瑞士鸡翼; traditional Chinese: 瑞士雞翼; Jyutping: seoi⁶ si⁶ gai¹ jik⁶) is a kind of sweet soy sauce-flavored chicken wings served in some restaurants in Hong Kong.^[1] It is marinated in sauce made up of soy sauce, sugar, Chinese wine, and spices. Despite the name "Swiss", it is unrelated to Switzerland. Instead, it is believed to have originated in either Hong Kong or Guangzhou.^[2]

Naming

There are no concrete answers as to the source or the name of the dish. One story — likely to be a mere urban legend — goes that a Westerner came across the dish "sweetened soya sauce chicken wings" in a restaurant, and asked a Chinese waiter what that was. The waiter, who did not speak perfect English, introduced the dish as "sweet wing". The customer misheard "sweet" as "Swiss", and the name "Swiss wing" has been used ever since.^[3]

Origin

Some^[who?] claim that the dish was invented by a local restaurant, the Tai Ping Koon. It is a common practice in Hong Kong restaurants to name a new dish after a place, which may or may not have any connection with the dish itself at all.^{[citation needed]}
