Shake and Bake Chicken Wings

This was the very first recipe I tried using chicken wings, way back in 1973. These are really crispy, flavorful wings. I love almost all chicken wings, but these have the permanent place as my favorites--totally habit forming! Be sure to use the foil lined pans to bake, or you'll lose half the wonderful crispy coating. Cooking time includes marinating time.

• Ready In: 2 hrs 55 mins
• Serves: 4-6

Ingredients

• 1  package  shake and bake coating mix for chicken (two pouch size)
• 3  lbs chicken wings
• 1⁄2 cup soy sauce
• 1⁄2 cup vinegar
• 2  cloves  crushed garlic

Directions

1. In a large plastic bag measure soy sauce, vinegar, and crushed garlic.
2. Add chicken wings, close bag tightly, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, and up to 8 hours.
3. Remove wings from marinade and coat with the Shake and Bake coating mix.
4. Place on one or two large baking sheets, lined with foil, and sprayed with oil spray (Pam).
5. Be sure not to crowd the wings or they will steam and not get the wonderful crusty coating that these should have.
6. You should leave at least 1/2 inch between each piece on all sides, more if possible.
7. Bake at 400 degrees for 45 minutes.
8. You might have to peel these off the foil, as they get really crispy; so-o-o worth it!
