Notes

  • Make sure to fully thaw frozen chicken wings before using them for the best results.
  • Pat dry the wings as the moisture will make it difficult for the wings to crisp up. 
  • Don't forget to flip the wings as it'll help both sides crisp up evenly. 
  • To store: You can store cooked chicken wings in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • To reheat: Reheat the wings in the oven or microwave until they're warmed through. 
  • To freeze: Freeze cooked chicken wings once they're cooled in an airtight freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.
