Name: Roasted Chicken Wings with Smoked-Paprika Mayonnaise
Yield: Serves 6 as an hors d'oeuvre or 4 as a main course
Ingredients: 3 pounds chicken wings (12 to 14); 3 garlic cloves; 3/4 cup dry red wine; 1/4 cup water; 1 teaspoon sweet Spanish smoked paprika*; 1 1/2 tablespoons Sherry vinegar; 2 teaspoons sugar; 2 teaspoons salt; 1/3 cup mayonnaise; 1 teaspoon medium-dry Sherry; 1/4 teaspoon sweet Spanish smoked paprika*; This spice comes in 3 strengths — sweet (which are used in this recipe), bittersweet and hot. Three mail-order sources that we've found are the Spanish Table (tel. 206-682-2827; email tablespan@aol.com), La Tienda (Web site: www.tienda.com/) and Dean & DeLuca (tel. 800-221-7714)

These chicken wings need to marinate for at least 8 hours — we recommend putting them in the refrigerator before you go to bed so they'll be ready for roasting the next day.

The deep, almost beeflike flavor of these wings comes from the red wine in the marinade; both the wings and the mayonnaise get a boost from the Spanish smoked paprika.
