Excellent recipe! I used wings since breasts are so costly here & DH came home w/red grapes instead of green, but otherwise I was faithful to the recipe. I used my pastry brush to baste the wings w/pan juices when I turned them & again when I added the grapes. The wings were nicely brown, crisp & not at all dry. I poured off the sml amt of oil & moved the grapes around in the pan to coat them w/the juices before plating them. I liked the sauce, but DH thot the vinegar flavor was too strong. I will halve that next time, but I think deglazing the pan by making the sauce in it & then straining the sauce may also be a good idea. Pls see my rating system - a very worthy 4 stars. Thx for sharing this recipe w/us.
