Notes

TO STORE: Store the cooled wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

TO FREEZE: Let the wings cool completely, place them in a freezer bag, and freeze them for up to 3 months.

TO REHEAT: Bake the wings at 350F/175C for 5-6 minutes or until warm. Alternatively, you can air fry them at 375F/190C for 4-5 minutes.

VARIATIONS

Add more heat. If you like spicy wings, add cayenne pepper or a few dashes of hot sauce.

Add extra seasonings. Dried Italian herbs, mustard powder, minced garlic, or parmesan cheese can completely transform their flavor.

Toss the wings in a sauce. After they’re done baking, toss them in sugar-free BBQ sauce or hot honey sauce to impart more flavor.

Serve the wings with carrots and celery sticks, plus sauces to dip, like blue cheese dressing or buffalo sauce.
