I made this last night and it came it DELICIOUS!!! It was my first attempt at making this and I was surprise how simple it was to make. However, I noticed that the recipe suggested 1lb of chicken, I think the sauce could've easily accommodate 2lbs of chicken wings. <br/><br/>I altered the recipe a bit. I used Low-Sodium Soy Sauce instead of regular, and used 3/4 of a cup instead of the suggested 1 cup of soy-sauce. Next time I'll reduce it to 1/2 cup of soy sauce for 1lb...unless I'm making 2lbs of chicken wings then I'll use 3/4 of a cup. <br/><br/>Remember after you bring the sauce to a boil and turn it to a low boil, continue to simmer the chicken in the sauce in the low boiling heat for an hour and the sauce will thicken nicely =p.

These came out great! We thought they were pretty salty. Next time I'll use low sodium soy sauce and that should take care of that. Thanks so much for posting this yummy recipe.

A simplified alternative to teriyaki is made with chicken grilled to perfection.

I made these little wings, (along with another wing recipe), for the football games yesterday (both being great). These were so very yummy! I can honestly say that I never made wings using this method. Fabulous! So super easy to make, very basic ingredients, and soooo little clean-up. We loved them. I used one of those single serving size bottles of cheap Merlot... and it worked just fine. Using another reviewers advice, I also cut the sugar down to 3/4 cup and I skipped the sesame seeds and parsley. (I'm sure it would have made them look prettier, but we didn't miss 'em. If I make these for our neighborhood Christmas party this year, I will definitely add them). Thanks for posting a simple and tasty wing variation. I have it saved. (Made for PRMR)

I made this for an annual Christmas party and it was a hit. Everyone devoured them in minutes from arriving and putting them on the table. The taste is similar to a teriyaki sauce. I think it is a cross between teriyaki and chicken adobo. This recipe is super simple to make. I used a two-buck Chuck wine (Charles Shaw Merlot from Trader Joes grocer) and regular white granulated sugar and Kikoman soy sauce. I actually made 6 pounds of wings and did 4 1/2 cups of each ingredient (wine, sugar and soy sauce). I don't think I needed to use 4 1/2 cups of each ingredient for the amount of wings/drumettes I cooked. I ended up with way more sauce. I boiled the chicken for about 40 minutes, pulled them out and brought the remaining sauce to a boil until it thickened and plunged the chicken back in the sauce to get a second coating. Next time I make this for the 6 pounds of wings/drumettes, I will just use 2 -3 cups of each ingredient. This is really a fool-proof recipe and the measurements are easily tweekable to the amount of chicken you have. This is definitely my go to wings recipe! I just love it!
