My Personal Story

I love chicken wings, and I always order them whenever I go out to eat. However, I never thought of making them myself until one day when I had some friends over for a game night. I wanted to impress them with some homemade wings, but I didn't have a deep fryer. So, I decided to try baking them instead, and they turned out amazing! My friends couldn't believe that they were baked, and they kept asking me for the recipe. Since then, I've made these wings several times, and they always turn out crispy and delicious.
