Notes

Consider marinating chicken wings for added flavor. Experiment with different spices and sauces to suit your taste. Pair chicken wings with fresh veggie sticks or a quinoa salad for a balanced meal. Store any leftover chicken wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to retain crispness.
