Notes & Wine Advice
Recipe Notes
These wings are easy to prepare ahead. You can coat them in the sauce earlier in the day and keep them chilled until ready to bake. For a stickier finish, simmer the leftover sauce separately and spoon it over just before serving. If you want a little heat, add hot sauce or chili flakes to the sauce mixture.Wine Advice
A fruity Zinfandel works very well with the sweet and savory glaze on these wings. Its ripe fruit and gentle spice match the sauce nicely. If you prefer white wine, a fresh Riesling gives a cooler contrast and balances the sticky richness beautifully.Nutrition values
