EZCR#129 - SAVOURY SWEET CHICKEN WINGS

This braised chicken wings taste savoury sweet with some basic seasoning ingredients easily available in most kitchens.  The preparation and cooking method is simple, quick and easy, yet the dish looks tempting and delicious.

 If you can get the butcher to tidy up the wings, preparing this dish is a breeze.    I got my regular butcher to cut off the end tip of the wings, removed the excess skin and fats of the drumlets  when I bought the wings from him.  This saves me much time.
