Soy Glazed Chinese Chicken Wings

threeovens's Note:

An easy chicken wing appetizer cooked on top of the stove. Prep and cook times do not include overnight marinating. Buy sesame oil and store in your refrigerator - it is pretty essential when called for and will get rancid tasting if left out for weeks or months. Also take care not to use too much, it is very flavorful.

Yield: 24.0 appetiz ...

• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons dry sherry
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 3 garlic cloves, minced, divided
• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

3. Add remaining garlic and onions to wok or skillet and cook 30 seconds. Add wings and chicken broth, cover and cook 5 minutes or until wings are tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
