Preheat a broiler. Drain the chicken wings and place them on a broiling pan. Pour any remaining marinade into a saucepan and bring it to a simmer.

I made this as described by Janet, and added a bit of mirin for sweetness and dark soy for color. Let the wings marinate for a few hours. Amazing and far better than take -out!
The recipe as written was more of an inspiration than a blueprint. I didn't have scallions, so I substituted leek; I didn't have fresh nutmeg or allspice either, so I used 5 spice powder from a new jar. I had already made the sauce for take-out style sesame noodles, so the sriracha sauce was on the counter and subbed for the red pepper flakes. I omitted the sugar. The wings were really good!
sounds delicious - maybe NYT should publish YOUR recipe!
