The chicken wings were a bit dry, and the sauce was a bit too salty. I would recommend adjusting the amount of salt in the recipe.

The chicken wings were crispy and flavorful, but the sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the recipe.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but I'm so glad I did! The chicken wings were not as spicy as I thought they would be, and the sauce was absolutely delicious. I will definitely be making this recipe ag
