Any toppings you like (salsa, refried beans, spanish-style rice, sour cream, and cheddar cheese are my favorites.

Combine vinegar, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce in a shallow bowl. Add cumin and garlic powder to the mixture, stirring once. Cut chicken into strips and place in the bowl. Then place in the refrigerator, letting the chicken marinade for about 30 minutes. Cut peppers and onion into slices. Cook them in a frying pan with a little butter or oil until tender.
Remove chicken from fridge and drain off the liquid. Cook chicken in the frying pan with the peppers and onions until the meat is cooked through.
Heat tortillas according to package directions. Once heated, put chicken and your toppings on the tortilla, roll 'em up and enjoy
Note: Make sure you have lots of paper towels handy since the fajitas can be a little messy.

1-Chicken Wings

Cut tips off and discard or use for soup. Disjoint the wings so you have 2 parts for each wing. Wash and dry the wings. I don't skin them or dip in batter. I just drop them into hot oil and cook for 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from oil and add your favorite  sauce. I use Bulls eye barbecue sauce. Just pour a small amount over them and shake them up and serve.. These wings taste like the ones they serve in the local pubs.
