Red Simmered Chicken Wings

This is my oldest son's favorite recipes when he was growing up.  It is the easiest meal in the world to make. Just start some rice, start the chicken wings, and stir-fry whatever vegetables are handy as a side dish. A three course meal in under an hour.

Red Simmered Chicken Wings

Ingredients

  • 4 # chicken wings cut into sections (save the tips for making chicken stock, if you are cutting the wings yourself)
  • 4 scallions, cut in 1" slices on the diagonal
  • 1/2 C soy sauce
  • 1/2 C sherry
  • 1 C water

Method

  • Put wings, soy sauce, sherry, and water in a pot
  • Bring to a boil
  • Reduce the heat. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes
  • Uncover and add the scallions
  • Simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes more, stirring frequently to make sure each of the wings is uniformly cooked in the yummy sauce.

Many versions of this recipe call for brown sugar, but I have never made it with the sugar, and I'm pretty sure it isn't necessary.
