Chicken Wings with Chinese Plum Sauce Recipe

These Chicken Wings with Chinese Plum Sauce take us back to a sports bar Sarah worked at when we lived in Wilmington, NC. The pub food was really good, and the place had a bunch of well-maintained sand volleyball courts, too. The vibe was incredible. Eventually, however, the place rebranded and fired most of its employees, including Sarah. You know how it goes. People with money can pull the rug out from under a bunch of other people, then go home and sleep like babies. We were actually driving back from a long weekend when Sarah got the phone call telling her she was canned. This was almost a decade ago—just when rental prices were beginning to skyrocket everywhere in America. And Wilmington was a town where people our age lived and died by the service industry. To lose your job unexpectedly like that was no joke. But it’s OK. Because our wings are better.
