Cooking tips
You don't have to pour sauce over the wings; you can just dip them in it – it will still be quite tasty.
To make cutting the wings easier, it's best to break the joints beforehand. This will speed up the process and keep the knife from dulling.
If you're using smaller wings, it's best to reduce the cooking time. The wings may dry out, although the skin prevents this.
