Pro Tips for Serving Wings

  • Oven-Baked Crispy: If you don't have a fryer, toss wings in baking powder (not soda!) before baking to get skin crispy.
  • Sauce on Side: Serve wings naked with sauce on the side to keep them crispy longer.
  • The "Bone Bucket": Don't forget to put out a designated bowl or bucket for the discarded bones!
