I have been making there for years and they are loved buy everyone. When I was catering these were the most popular wing. The sauce is sweet and sticky and most people think it's made with honey. I first found this recipe in the Best of Bridge cookbooks, thanks for posting

10 STARS!!! Finally a PERFECT wing recipe for those of us who do not like spicy-hot wings and still be full-flavored. It's the best, CountryLady, thanks for sharing it.

I served these for the Grey Cup game to a group of people, everyone enjoyed them but my DH would have prefered spicy wings, I made the sauce way in advance, also next time I will reduce the vinegar slightly. Thanks for sharing!...Kitten:)
