5 Tips for the Best Bang Bang Chicken Wings

1. Pat Wings Dry for Extra Crispiness – Removing excess moisture helps the skin crisp up perfectly in the oven.
2. Use a Wire Rack – Elevating the wings allows heat to circulate, making them cook evenly and get extra crispy.
3. Bake at High Heat (425°F) – A hot oven ensures a golden, crispy exterior without overcooking the meat.
4. Toss in Sauce at the End – Adding sauce too early can make the wings soggy, so coat them after baking and return to the oven for a few minutes to set.
5. Broil for a Crispy Finish – For restaurant-quality wings, broil for the last 2-3 minutes to add a delicious charred flavor.

Follow these tips, and your Bang Bang Chicken Wings will be next-level crispy, saucy, and full of flavor.
