Pro Tips For Making This Recipe

- Cooking the wings on a wire rack allows the heat to circulate around the wings, ensuring they cook evenly and get crispy all over.
- Make sure the wings are in a single layer and not touching each other on the baking sheet. Overcrowding can cause them to steam rather than bake, leading to less crispy wings.
- Let the wings rest for a few minutes after baking to allow the juices to redistribute, making them even more flavorful and juicy.
