Japanese Chicken Wings

An original Best of Bridge recipe. At the time it was written, soy sauce would have been new-ish to many households and certainly thought of as a Japanese condiment. These wings are great for crowds and kids. And, as a commenter notes below, they’re also great cold!

Notes
  1. UPDATE: Buy drummettes and remove skin – it’s more work, but it’s healthier
