FAQs
1. Can I use bone-in or boneless chicken wings?
Both work great! Bone-in wings will be more flavorful and juicy, while boneless are quicker to cook and easier to eat.
2. How can I make the wings extra crispy?
Ensure your wings are completely dry before cooking. You can pat them with paper towels or even use a little cornstarch. Make sure to bake or fry at a high enough temperature.
3. What can I substitute for the red pepper flakes?
If you prefer less heat, you can omit the red pepper flakes entirely, or use a pinch of paprika for a subtle warmth.
