Tips for Success

• Pat the wings dry well before seasoning for crispier skin.
• Marinating overnight in the fridge will noticeably deepen the flavor.
• Baking on a rack set over a sheet pan will let the fat drip away and create better crispiness.
• At the end of baking, it’s recommended to switch on the broiler for 3 to 5 minutes for deeper color and a crispier texture.
• Serve with white jasmine rice, stir-fried vegetables, or an Asian cabbage salad to round out the meal.
