Ingredients
-
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
-
12 chicken wings, tips discarded and wings separated at the joint
-
3 garlic cloves, chopped
-
2 tablespoons chili powder
-
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
-
2 cups tomato sauce
-
3 ounces dark chocolate, coarsely chopped
-
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
-
salt
-
2 tablespoons cilantro, finely chopped
Instructions
- In a large, heavy skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken wings and cook, turning occasionally, until browned, about 5 minutes; transfer to a plate. Add the garlic, chili powder and allspice and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in the tomato sauce, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add 1 cup water, the chocolate, hot sauce and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, until the chocolate is melted.
- Return the wings to the pan, lower the heat, cover and simmer until the wings are cooked through and the sauce is reduced to a thick glaze, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with the cilantro.
