Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken wings: Look for plump, meaty wings with no visible signs of damage.
  • Dry the chicken wings thoroughly before cooking: This will help the sauce to adhere better and prevent soggy wings.
  • Use a combination of wet and dry rubs: This will give the wings a complex flavor and help to keep them moist.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: Make sure there is enough space between the wings so that they can cook evenly.
  • Flip the wings halfway through cooking: This will ensure that they cook evenly on both sides.
  • Serve the wings with your favorite dipping sauce: Some popular choices include blue cheese dressing, ranch dressing, and honey mustard.
