4-5 pounds chicken wings
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 cup whole cane sugar or Sucanat
1/2 cup red wine
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tesapoons Dijon mustard
4-6 tablespoons hot sauce (depending on taste preference)
2 teaspoons sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Preheat oven to 350° F. Spread chicken wings out in a single layer in a large casserole dish or lipped sheet pan. In a small saucepan over medium heat melt the butter. Add in the sugar, wine, soy sauce, lemon juice, mustard and hot sauce. Whisk together until all the sugar is dissolved. Pour the sauce over the chicken wings. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the top.
Bake the wings at 350° F for 40 minutes. Reduce heat to 250° F and cook for 4 hours, flipping the wings every hour. The sauce will thicken and the wings will have browned and caramelized slightly when they are finished.
Makes 6-8 servings.
