I am afraid we will never see Iona's ginger wine chicken again. Like a lot of southern pulled pork, it is a simple recipe tied to one person. The recipe on BVIPirate is accurate but there is more to it than the printed word can impart. A couple of years ago I had a chance to talk to Iona for a long time about my attempts and she explained in detail the seasoning and thickening of the sauce but though my version is close it is only a thin shaddow of Iona's.

Then again, a lot of it could be the feel and atmosphere that Iona and Sonny gave Palm's Delight that can't be duplicated.
