Cook The Book: Braised 'Red Cooked' Wings, Shanghai-Style
- 24 chicken wings
- 2 cups red wine
- 1/2 cup dark soy sauce
- 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 3-inch stick cinnamon
- 6 whole cloves
- 1 teaspoon crushed red chile flakes
- 1/4 cup chopped ginger
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon grated orange zest
- Cut off the wing tips and save them for making stock. Cut the wings in half through the joint. In a large bowl, combine all the remaining ingredients.
- Place a deep 12-inch pan over medium heat. Add the red wine mixture and bring to a simmer. Add the chicken wings. Bring to a low boil, cover, turn the heat to low, and simmer until the wings become very tender, about 30 minutes. Stir occasionally. This can be done 24 hours prior to serving.
- To serve, bring the wings and sauce to a low boil. Cook until nearly all the sauce evaporates and forms a glaze around the wings. Serve.
