These baked chicken wings are great for a light dinner. They really go over well as a tasty appetizer dish for dinner parties or a casual buffet.
I have been making this recipe for over 30 years. So you know it has to be good. This recipe was popular with all my friends long before it was the big rage to serve them in restaurants. Everyone I have ever served it to has raved about it and begged for the recipe.
Once a friend of mine asked for this baked chicken wing recipe. It was asked for so often, I had little cards printed with the recipe on them. I didn’t have any cards left, so I proceeded to write down the recipe for my friend. Why not, I knew the recipe by heart. Not so, I forgot the “1 cup of apple cider vinegar”. My friend made the recipe for a small family get together and needless to say, the wings came out badly. When she called me the next day. I was shocked. This recipe is so delicious. How could she ruin my recipe? We finally went over the recipe and found that I had neglected to include the vinegar. I felt atrocious over giving her the wrong recipe. I have not been able to live it down either. To this day, every time I give her a recipe, she always says “Now this is the whole recipe, right? You’re not leaving anything out are you?” we still laugh about it 20 years later.
