Best ways to enjoy it

These wings are best enjoyed hot and fresh out of the oven. For presentation, arrange them on a platter and garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds for added color. Serve them alongside a zesty coleslaw or crispy potato wedges. Don’t forget some extra napkins—the sticky goodness is part of the fun!

How to store

To keep your leftover sticky wings fresh, place them in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to three days. For longer storage, you can freeze them. Just make sure they are well-wrapped to prevent freezer burn. When you’re ready to enjoy again, reheat them in the oven at a low temperature until warmed through.

Helpful cooking tips

• For an even crispier texture, broil the wings for a few minutes at the end of baking. Just keep a close eye on them to avoid burning.
• If you’re craving a bit of heat, add a splash of hot sauce to the glaze for a spicy kick.
• Let the glaze come to a simmer on the stovetop before tossing the wings for an even richer flavor.

Creative twists
