The secret to crispy homemade chicken wings:
- Dry them thoroughly with paper towels and then coat with flour
- Make sure the flour is just dusting (not lumpy or sticky)
- Make sure your oven is good and hot before putting them in so the skin crisps up quickly

How to Make Wing Sauce
The trick to the best wing sauce is to make sure it's thickened so it sticks to the wings.
- Combine wing sauce ingredients in a small saucepan
- Simmer until thick and the sauce should coat the back of a spoon
- Use a pan lined with foil (for easy cleanup) and topped with parchment paper (so the wings don't stick)
- Let wings roast/caramelize
- Chill for 10 minutes before serving, this will help the sauce thicken further
