I would add 1/2 cup of packed brown sugar and some chunk pineapple to the sauce mixture. This would cut some of the tartness from the vinegar.

This is a very sour dish that did not play well at our house. I may try again with maybe one third the vinegar. Very easy to prepare and wings cooked well in the slow cooker.

I make a recipe similar to this. It is a little more high calorie, but excellent. I take 5lbs of thawed wings..bread them with flour and fry them...i place them in a cake pan and pour over the vinegar mixture...then bake for one hour...awesome appetizer!
