Ingredients List
Important Notes
Always pat dry the wings with a paper towel before seasoning to get the skin extra crispy.
Make sure to arrange the wings in a single layer with space in between; overcrowding prevents them from crisping up properly.
For the Buffalo wings seasoning, make sure to use baking powder and not baking soda.
Apply BBQ sauce at the very end to prevent the sugar in the sauce from burning during the long cooking process.
