How to store?

Should I wash the chicken before cooking?

Yes, it’s a good idea to run the chicken under cool water before you begin. Lightly rub it with your fingers and rinse. Before you begin, pat the area dry with paper towels.

Can I use another glaze for the wings?

Absolutely! You can use a sweet, savory, or spicy glaze of your choice for these wings. This recipe is completely customizable so feel free to play around with the flavors to see what you like the best.

Can I use the glaze for other chicken parts?

Yes, you can use this glaze to make chicken thighs, chicken breasts, and even whole chicken. Cook the chicken however you like with the glaze for a spicy yet sweet flavor!

How to make crispy chicken wings?

To make them extra crispy, broil them for the last 2-4 minutes of your cooking time. This will give them a burst of heat to char the edges and give them a more crispy texture.

Why bake instead of frying?

We prefer to bake them for several reasons. Here are a few reasons to consider baking:

• Less messy
• Healthier than deep fried
• Faster
• You can cook larger batches at once

Why the long roasting time?

You need to cook the chicken wings long enough to make the skin crispy and the meat to be done. Cooking for less time will result in soggier chicken wings and undercooked meat.

Do I have to split the wings apart?

No, you can cook them; either split them or leave them intact. If they aren’t split apart, they will take a little longer to cook. Be sure to test for doneness by using a meat thermometer.
