Ingredients:





    20    Chicken wings


 7 1/2 oz Tomato sauce (half can)


     2 tb Orange marmalade


     1 tb Honey


     2 ts Ginger, minced


     2 ts Fermented chili sauce


          -(Summit brand)


     2 ts Pepper vinegar


     4    Garlic cloves, peeled


     1 ts Salt (scant)


     2 ts MSG


   1/2 c  Water (more as needed)


       ds Tabasco, to taste


          -(or other hot pepper






                                                   -sauc )


 


 Cut off spurs from chicken wing-tips and rinse chicken wings. Place in


 pressure cooker with water; bring to pressure and cook at high heat for up


 to five minutes. Remove from pressure cooker and place cooked-out fat in


 wide-mouthed, tapered jar for other uses.


 


 Blend all ingredients except chicken and Tabasco (or hot sauce) until


 fairly even consistency, with no large chunks of ginger or garlic.


 


 Place 3/4 of sauce in pan.  Roll wings in sauce; remove wings to broiler


 pan (with slotted top).  Bake at 325 degrees F. for 20 minutes. Remove from


 oven and spoon about half of remaining sauce on top of each piece; broil


 for 5 minutes.  Add Tabasco or other hot pepper sauces to taste and serve.


 


 Beau's notes:


 


 *  Use vinegar "which has been used to keep a supply of bird's-eye


 peppers."


 


 *  After discarding chicken spurs, wash hands with very warm water and Dial


 soap (and follow up with isopropyl alcohol rinse); wash all utensils with


 bleach.  (One should always regard chickens, even if processed in USA or


 inspected by USDA, as unclean! USDA inspectors are notoriously less than


 thorough, and U.S. packing houses often neglect basic hygienic rules in


 working with chickens, especially in dealing with their entrails, waste


 products un-excreted, etc. And one should not expect much better from


 out-of-country chickens.)
