Why use the double-fry method?

The first fry (at 350°F) cooks the wings through; the second fry (at 375°F) makes them gloriously crispy with a shattering exterior.

Can I bake wings instead of frying?

Yes! Toss with baking powder, bake at 425°F for 30 minutes, then broil for 5 minutes for crispiness. Air frying also works well.

Sauce them just before serving while they're still warm. This prevents the coating from becoming soggy and maintains maximum crispiness.

Fill your Dutch oven or pot halfway with canola oil. Wings should be completely submerged without oil overflowing when you add them.

Yes! Make the sauce up to 2 days ahead and store in an airtight container. Reheat gently before serving.
