Notes

One: Make Ahead

Follow the recipe to prepare the chicken wings but place them in the freezer instead of the refrigerator. After about 30 minutes, transfer the wings to an airtight freezer bag for storage.

Two: Frozen Wings

To cook frozen chicken wings, preheat the air fryer to 380˚F and bake them for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165˚F, flipping them halfway through.

Three: Oven Baked

Coat the wings as directed in the recipe, place them on a wire rack on a baking sheet, and refrigerate. Spray the wings with olive oil and bake at 400˚F for 35-40 minutes, turning halfway through or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165˚F.

Four: Storage

Allow the leftovers to cool and store them in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
