I’ve made 1000’s of wings and I think I have finally perfected the process (thanks in large part to tips from this sub).
Some of the most important tips I’ve learned to make wings go from good to great:
- Pat wings dry individually with paper towel. This ensures a dry skin and more crisp
- Season with: Salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika and cayenne. You can season however you like.
- Add a bit of baking powder and corn starch for a light coat. This drys out the exterior further and adds a thin crispy outside layer.
- Absolutely let them dry on a wire rack for a few hours minimum
- Double frying helps with crispness
- For best sauce I do 2:1-1/2 Franks to butter ratio. I also add garlic powder, a touch of Worcestershire, a bit of Lowerys, Lemmon pepper, a little kewpie mayo. My favorite addition recently is mix a tablespoon of corn starch with a couple tablespoons white vinegar and pour it in to get a creamer sauce that really sticks well to the wings. I also make to sauce in a pot because it becomes much more homogeneous that way.
Thanks for checking this out guys! Love this sub and would love to hear any questions feedback or tips!

They look super delicious.
The kewpie mayo is an interesting addition that I have been never considered…I must take this data to the wing lair. Excellent recipe
