½ cup Dry white wine
¼ cup Lime juice
¼ cup Soy sauce
2 smalls Onions; finely chopped, About 1 cup
4 Cloves garlic; crushed
½ teaspoon Oregano

1 teaspoon Ground ginger
2 tablespoons Butter or margarine
1 tablespoon Salad oil
2 tablespoons Flour
1 cup Halved canned kumquats

Directions

Arrange the chicken pieces in a large, shallow baking dish.

In a bowl, combine the wine, lime juice, soy sauce, chopped onion, garlic, oregano, thyme, curry and ginger. Pour over the chicken. Cover the dish and marinate 6 to 8 hours. Turn twice during this time. Drain, reserving the marinade.

Heat a large frying pan and add the butter and oil. Brown the chicken pieces then place them back in the baking dish.

Stir the flour into the fat in the pan; cook, stirring, until bubbling.

Gradually blend in the marinade; stir and cook until thickened. Pour over the chicken.

Cover the pan with foil and bake in a 350F oven for 1 hour or until tender.

Arrange the chicken pieces on a serving dish, reserving the sauce. Sprinkle the kumquats over; keep warm while you finish the sauce.

Bring the sauce to a boil in a small pan. Mix a little of the hot sauce with the lightly beaten egg yolks then return the mixture to the pan. Cook, stirring constantly and without boiling, until thickened. Add salt to taste. Pour the sauce over the chicken and sprinkle the whole thing with parsley.
