Soy-Marinated Grilled Chicken Wings

Servings: 10 servings

Ingredients

  • -parts,

  • -use drumettes
  • 3 Garlic cloves; chopped
  • 1/3 c Soy sauce

  • 2 tb Asian; (toasted) sesame oil
  • 1 Spicy Asian Peanut Dip; *
  • -see note

Directions
* Note: See the “Spicy Asian Peanut Dip” recipe which is included in this collection. Combine chicken wings with the next 7 ingredients. Place in a bowl or big plastic bag and let sit in refrigerator for at least an hour or up to 3 days. Turn every so often during marination. Grill over an open fire or broil until crisp. Serve accompanied with the peanut dip sauce. This recipe serves 10 to 12. Comments: This Asian-American marinade permeates the chicken wings and creates a savory crispness as they grill. Perfect for an outdoor barbecue, this recipe can be doubled and tripled indefinitely. The wings are simple to put together, and have the good grace to get better as they sit in their marinade. In fact, if you can marinate them for 2 to 3 days — but no longer, in the refrigerator — they will be fantastic.

Sophia Loren’s Chicken Cacciatora

Servings: 4 servings
Category: Chicken | Entree
Ingredients

  • 3 tb Extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 3-pound chicken; cut into 8
  • -serving
  • ; pieces
  • 1 md Onion; peeled & halved &
  • ; chopped
  • 1 lg Red pepper; sliced in 1/2″
  • ; strips
  • 1/2 c Dry white wine
  • 3/4 ts Salt
  • 1 pn Hot red pepper flakes
  • 2 c Canned plum tomatoes;
  • -drained & coarsely
  • ; chopped
  • 1/3 c Basil leaves; torn

Directions
In a 10 to 12 inch saute pan with cover, heat the oil over medium high heat, and when it is hot, brown the chicken on the skin side first, then the underside. Do not crowd the pan. Brown the chicken in batches if necessary, setting aside the browned chicken on a plate until the rest is done. When the first few pieces of chicken are almost browned and still in the pan, add the onion red pepper, saute until tender. Arrange all the browned chicken in the pan, skin side up, and add the white wine. Season with salt and hot pepper flakes, then let the wine cook until it has almost entirely evaporated, just a couple of minutes. While it is reducing, turn the chicken in the liquid once or twice, but leave it skin side up at the end. Add the tomatoes. Cover the pan, lower the heat, and let cook at a gentle simmer, without turning, for about 30 minutes, or until the chicken is done. Remove the chicken to a serving platter, add the basil to the pan and increase the heat to high, letting the sauce reduce for about 2 minutes. In the end, the sauce will be creamy pink. Pour the sauce over the chicken or use it to dress pasta (reserving some for the chicken) and serve immediately. From the show on Arthur Schwartz’s book Naples At Table.
