Beaujolais Glazed Chicken Wings Ingredients:

• 3 pounds chicken wings, tips removed at joints into 2 pcs

• 1/3 cup soy sauce

• 1/3 cup orange juice

• 2/3 cup dry red wine

• 2 tablespoons dry red wine (additional)

• 3 cloves garlic, mashed

• 2 tablespoons ginger root, chopped

• 6 tablespoons red currant jelly

• 2 tablespoons orange zest, grated

• 1 tablespoon orange zest, thin julienne for garnish

Preparation:

1. Place split wings in a large shallow non-aluminum pan. Mix soy, orange juice, red wine, garlic and ginger root together and pour over the wings. Cover pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight, turning several times in the marinade.
2. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking pan with foil. Coat a cooking spray and place rack in baking pan.
3. Drain chicken and arrange on rack. Roast for 45 minutes, turning wings once. Remove from oven, but do not turn off the oven.
