In a large skillet cook onion and garlic in hot oil until onion is tender but not brown. Stir in red pepper sauce, tumeric, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Add chicken pieces to skillet. Spoon onion mixture over chicken pieces, bring mixture to boiling, reduce heat. Cover, simmer about 30 minutes. Stir in 1/4 cup dry red wine. Cook uncovered, about 15 minutes, turning chicken pieces often. Skim off fat. Serve with ethiopian flat bread. The highly spiced hot red pepper sauce is called 'Berbere', which is the characteristic flavor of many Ethiopian dishes
