Failure adapting Mickey's chicken wing recipe

Always a fan of @Mickey Double Carbonized Lump Chicken Wings, I attempted to reproduce the elements of that cook with a simple chicken broth. Threw the back, vent flap and fatty skin trim from a spatchcock into a one quart pot of water, put it on simmer in the outdoor pit then forgot about it until this morning. 
As you can see I got the color/colour correct, had a great sauce shimmer, but could not get the broth out of the pot. 
Even the dog did not want this cook failure, and she isn't too fussy. 

Lucky the electric side burner was on low and sitting on a stone surface.

    No fog of adult supervisory beverages in the equation??  Must have been overcome with the euphoria of the A's nail-biter yesterday that set the stage for such a culinary delight.

    and yes-you were lucky but that may be the sign that the tide has turned even with the A's.  Be thankful for the chance to post about the brain aneurism and not a catastrophe. :)>-

    @lousubcap - I wish I could have blamed it on the beer or other suitable adult beverage, put these on and went to #2 sons's for #3 granddaughter's 1st Birth Day - came home and just went to bed - totally slipped my mind - what SWMBO referred to as having a senior's moment. 
    A's will be on the tube at 1:00PDT - getting the decks cleared, Go A's

    May need to do a demo cook at the Salado EggFest. Yours look close and the DOG test is always a clear measurement.

    Looks like you hit a home run with that one. I'm sure it will have the @SGH seal of approval.

    Not to get technical, but according to chemistry alcohol is a solution...

    Maybe something that even @SGH would not try, ya think?

    Brother skiddy I'm honored to give this attempt the SGH seal of approval on effort alone. Good try my friend!

    You Sir, are becoming a gentleman, as you expand your knowledge of the Queen's English, rather than that General Washington inspired American drivel. The Halo's must be cheating or are they really that close to you know who.....14-3? A's still 0-0, GO A's

    @Mickey - If we did a duo demo cook, your wings and my sauce, it would have to be on day with a strong wind from the north east - otherwise the whole town would be smogged in.
