There are no “secret” ingredients in this recipe-I’m sure it is good, but it is ORDINARY!! I wonder what the “secret” is supposed to be?
I hate these posts. All tease, no follow through.
I made this sauce the other day..couldn’t find the chicken granulated so used powdered. Added the merlot, but you have to cooked it til it’s reduced, and reduced again or its some nasty smelling, tasting stuff.
My secret ingredient is… A teaspoon of white vinegar. It adds a nice tangy flavor to the sauce.
Would love to make this for dinner
After reading the recipe I know I make good sauce, nothing exciting here.

I’ve always made it this way, BUT I fry some tomato paste with a little olive oil, then add the red wine.
More wasted time. No secret ingredient that I could find. I use all of those ingredients. Only diff is that I sometimes substitute another red wine for merlot as I don’t really care for merlot.
