MOROCCAN CHICKEN WINGS
From Southern Living's Ultimate Book of Appetizers, these sound tasty. NOTE #1: Based on the 4 previous reviews, I've changed the recipe to decrease the amount of cinnamon, since the reviews indicate that the recipe seems heavy on the cinnamon. Original recipe calls for 2 tablespoons of cinnamon -- you make the call! NOTE #2: The directions for this recipe seemed somewhat lacking in the book, so I embellished a little. I would recommend for step #7, to either spray or spritz the oil on the chicken rather than brushing it on.
