I have half a bottle of leftover red wine from our weekend get together, since I don't drink, I used the wine to make this Red wine braised Chicken Wings. It is a very good way to use the left over wine!
The dish has a very interesting name in Chinese，it is called Imperial Concubine Wings as it is said that Imperial Concubine Yang (杨贵妃) in Tang dynasty loved to have chicken wings and loved it braised in red wine/grape wine, that is where the name of this dish came from.
相传，杨贵妃生平最爱吃两种美食，第一种是荔枝，第二种就是鸡翅。
杨玉环曾一度失宠，京剧艺术家据此演义《贵妃醉酒》这出戏、该剧主要是表现杨玉环在宫内备受宠幸，偶尔尼疏，在百花亭独饮，不觉沉醉而哀怨自伤。
后来，有厨师受到这出戏的启发而创制了“贵妃鸡翅”一菜。此菜用葡萄酒煮制鸡翅，具有贵妃醉酒之色韵，巨翅善飞，飞与妃音喻，故得名。
