Flavor Variations

• Buffalo: Toss in melted butter & hot sauce after baking.
• Honey Garlic: Mix honey, soy sauce & minced garlic for a sticky-sweet glaze.
• Teriyaki: Marinate in teriyaki sauce before baking.
• Lemon Pepper: Add lemon zest & extra black pepper to the seasoning mix.
• BBQ: Brush wings with BBQ sauce for the last 10 minutes.
• Spicy Asian: Add sriracha or chili paste to the olive oil before coating.

Pro Tips for Extra Crispiness

• Dry the Wings Completely: Removes moisture for a better crunch.
• Use Baking Powder: Helps form a crispy skin.
• Don’t Crowd the Pan: Space wings apart for even cooking.
• Broil for Extra Crunch: Broil the last 2–3 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.

Storage & Reheating

• Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days.
• Freeze: Lay wings flat on a baking sheet, freeze, then transfer to an airtight container for up to 3 months.
• Reheat: Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10–15 minutes to restore crispiness.

These wings are the perfect balance of crispy, juicy, and flavorful—great for game days, parties, or just indulging in something delicious! 🍽️✨ Enjoy!
