Note

For extra crispy wings, place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet and arrange the wings on the rack. This allows air to circulate around the wings, promoting even browning.

If you prefer a spicier kick, increase the amount of cayenne pepper to 1/2 teaspoon or add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the breadcrumb mixture.

You can substitute half of the breadcrumbs with crushed cornflakes for an extra crunchy texture.

Leftover wings can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350ðF for 10 minutes to restore crispiness; avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

Ensure chicken wings reach an internal temperature of 165ðF (74ðC) for safe consumption.
