Chinese Sticky Wings

Mmmmm. Chinese chicken wings
Makes about 28 pieces

3 pounds (1.4 kg) chicken wings
1/4 cup (60 ml) dry sherry
1/4 cup (60 ml) soy sauce
1/4 cup (85 g) sugar-free imitation honey
1 tablespoon (10 g) grated gingerroot
1 clove garlic
1/2 teaspoon chili garlic paste

Cut your wings into drummettes if you didn't buy them that way. (Keep
those pointy tips to make chicken broth!) Put your wings in a big
zipper-lock bag.
Mix together everything else, and pour it into the bag. Seal the bag,
pressing out the air as you go. Turn the bag a few times to coat, and
throw it in the fridge for a few hours and a whole day is brilliant.
Pull out the bag, pour off the marinade into a bowl and arrange the wings
in a shallow baking pan. Give .em a good hour in a 375°F (190°C) oven,
basting every 15 minutes with the marinade. Serve with plenty of napkins!
Each serving will have: 62 calories; 4 g fat; 5 g protein; trace

include polyols in the sugar-free imitation honey.

Note: Sugar-Free Imitation Honey
This is one of those .I knew low carb had really hit the mainstream when .
.. .. products. I knew we were mainstream when my grocery store started
carrying sugar-free imitation honey! This is a polyol syrup with flavoring
added to make it taste like honey, and the two I.ve tried, one by Honey
Tree and the other by Steele.s, are not bad imitations.

Sugar-free imitation honey is becoming more and more available and a
useful little product it is.in baked goods it adds some extra moisture,
while in things like barbecue sauces it adds the familiar syrupy quality.
I can get sugar-free imitation honey here in Bloomington at my local Marsh
grocery store, and I've heard that Wal-Mart now carries a brand. For that
matter, many of the low-carb e-tailers carry Steele's brand of imitation
honey. In short, it shouldn't be too hard to get your hands on some.

Remember that sugar-free imitation honey is pretty much pure polyol.
Slather it on your low-carb pancakes or biscuits with too free a hand, and
you.ll pay the price in gastric distress.



Southwestern Stuffed Eggs

These spicy eggs were a huge hit at the party I took them to!

Makes 12 pieces


6 hard-boiled eggs
2 tablespoons (30 g) mayonnaise
1 tablespoon (15 g) plain yogurt
1 tablespoon (10 g) minced onion
3/4 teaspoon chili powder
1 tablespoon (15 ml) cider vinegar
1/8 teaspoon garlic, finely minced

Peel your eggs, and slice each one in half. Remove the yolks to a mixing
bowl and arrange the whites on a platter.
Mash the yolks well with a fork, then mash in the mayonnaise and yogurt.
When the mixture is smooth, stir in the seasonings.
Stuff the seasoned yolks into the whites. You may sprinkle a tiny bit of
chili powder or paprika on top to make them look festive, if you like.
