Notes
- Pat Wings Dry: Before seasoning or saucing, thoroughly pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This helps ensure crispy skin and better sauce adherence.
- Don't Overcrowd: Whether baking or air frying, arrange the wings in a single layer with space between them. Overcrowding leads to steaming, not crisping. Cook in batches if necessary.
- Monitor Cooking Time: Cooking times vary based on wing size and appliance. Always cook until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) to ensure they're done and safe to eat.
- Sauce at the End: Apply the majority of your Carolina Gold BBQ sauce during the last 5-10 minutes of cooking. The sugars in the sauce can burn if applied too early.
- Rest for Juiciness: After cooking, let the wings rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, making the wings more tender and flavorful.
