Note
Tips: For extra-crispy wings, pat them completely dry before seasoning and avoid overcrowding the crisping tray.
If cooking larger batches, work in multiple rounds to maintain proper air circulation.
The sauce can be adjusted for heat preference by varying the ratio of hot sauce to butter.
For best results, let wings rest for 5 minutes before tossing in sauce to help the coating adhere better.
