Notes

To enhance flavors, consider marinating the wings overnight. For a richer taste, swap olive oil for melted butter. If you're looking for a spicy kick, add hot sauce to the marinade or barbecue sauce. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, and reheat in the oven for best results. For an even healthier alternative, try air frying the wings or using a grill.
