Default Substitute for sake?

This question has been asked a million times, I think, but I don't

see the answer when I look. Can I substitute something for the sake?

I'm car challenged and just going to the supermarket is enough.

Thanks, nancy





MAHOGANY CHICKEN WINGS
By: Damsel in dis Dress
Appetizers/Dips, Chinese, Poultry


1/2 cup hoisin sauce
1/4 cup plum sauce
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup saki (rice wine)
1/4 cup cider vinegar
3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon garlic; finely minced
1 bunch (about 6) green onions; finely minced
5 pounds chicken wings


1. Combine all ingredients except chicken. Bring to a boil, lower
heat, and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes. Cool.


2. Cut wings at joints, forming "drummies," "sticks," and "tips".
Discard tips, or save for making soup stock.


3. Place wings in a container for marinating (Zip-Loc bags work great
for this), then cover with sauce. Refrigerate at least overnight, up to
two days. Turn occasionally.


4. Line two large jelly roll pans with aluminum foil. Coat with
vegetable oil or shortening to minimize sticking. Preheat oven to 375F.


5. Place individual chicken pieces on pans and bake, uncovered, for 20


minutes. Remove liquified chicken fat and juices from pan. Turn
chicken pieces and baste with marinating sauce.


6. Bake another 20 minutes, turn chicken and baste. Repeat twice
more, watching carefully during the last baking cycle, so the sauce
doesn't burn.
7. Serve hot or cold.


Yield: 5 dozen
