Easy baked wings

3 pounds chicken wings

2 eggs, beaten

1/2 cup all-purpose flour for coating

3/4 cup oil for frying

1/4 cup margarine

Sauce

6 tablespoons soy sauce

6 tablespoons water

2 cups white sugar

1 cup vinegar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Pour beaten egg into a shallow dish or bowl; do the same with the flour. Heat oil and margarine in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Dip wings in egg, then flour, then fry until browned and crisp. Lay browned wings in an 11-by-14-inch baking dish.

To make sauce: In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, water, sugar and vinegar. Blend well and pour sauce over chicken.

Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
