Tips
Pat the chicken wings dry until fully dry to prevent steaming and achieve crispiness.
Use a pinch of baking powder for crispier skin.
Let the seasoned wings sit in the fridge for 30-60 minutes uncovered or on a rack to further dry the skin.
Roast wings on a rack over a tray to allow air circulation.
Do not brush sauce on early, as sugar burns.
Make the sauce separately and keep it thick.
Toss wings quickly in sauce after baking, then return to the oven for 5 to 10 minutes to set the glaze.
Apply one thin coat of sauce, then another thin coat.
