Note

For a crispier skin, you can dredge the wings in a seasoned flour mixture before painting them with the sauce using a pastry brush. This gives the skin extra "presence" and texture.

When serving with rice, try adding 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric to the rice water before cooking for a complementary yellow color and mild flavor.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
