Notes

These wings can be served hot with dipping sauces like ranch or blue cheese. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in an oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through. For extra crispy wings, broil for a few minutes at the end of baking. Experiment with spices like paprika or cayenne for added heat, or try teriyaki sauce instead of soy sauce for a different flavor.
