Ingredients

  • 2 pounds chicken wings
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • ½ bulb garlic
  • 2 medium carrots
  • 4 ribs celery
  • 8 grams thyme springs
  • 1.5 tablespoons fresh parsley
  • 2 sprigs rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon marjoram (optional)
  • 3 bay leaves
  • 1 medium onion cut into wedges
  • 12.5 cups water
  • 2 ounces red wine
  • 1 tablespoon butter unsalted
  • 1.5 teaspoon balsamic vinegar (or coconut aminos)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon glucomannan powder (to thicken) (or xanthan)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425F / 220C / 200fan.
  • Season the chicken wings with salt and pepper. Place on parchment lined baking tray with the garlic (drizzled in a little oil) and roast for about 1 hour, or until golden. Cooking times of the wings will depend on the size of them, should be done in about 35-45 minutes. Remove the garlic after 30 minutes.
  • Add the wings, garlic, carrots, celery, herbs, onion, and water to a large Dutch oven or stock pot. Bring to boil then simmer for 2 hours until nice and fragrant. Remove the wings, allow to cool and shred the meat for another recipe. (You can place this back on a baking tray to crisp up if you like for tacos.)
  • Strain the remaining stock by smashing up the veggies and pushing through all the goodness of the veggies juices into the stock. Allow the stock to cool and skim off any fat. If baking before the big day place in the fridge. If making way in advance, place in a ziplock bag in the freezer. Then defrost day before or defrost in microwave on the day. You should have about 4 cups of stock left.

On the Day

  • Add the 4 cups stock to a pan along with the red wine, butter, balsamic (or coconut aminos) and Dijon.
  • Bring to a boil, then reduce to medium heat and cook for about 20 mins to concentrate it. Add glucomannan powder (or xanthan) to thicken. Note: as it cools it will get thicker. If it thickens and cools too much just place back on the heat to warm through and it will thin down. Taste and adjust seasoning to taste. I ended up with 1 cup gravy. Serving size is ¼ cup.
  • Serve all over your favorite keto dinner!
  • Storage: Airtight container in Fridge for up to 3 days or freezer for 2 months.
