🔥 For extra crispy wings, pat them completely dry before seasoning and consider increasing the initial baking time by 5-10 minutes
🍯 Let the sauce simmer for at least 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld and thicken for better coating
🌡️ Use a meat thermometer to ensure wings reach 165°F for food safety and optimal juiciness
