Recipe Notes and Troubleshooting
Before you dive in, here are some handy notes to make your cooking experience smooth and stress-free! I want you to be the wing superstar!
- Chicken wings selection: Feel free to use fresh wings if you prefer! Just adjust the cooking time as frozen wings typically take longer to cook.
- Spice Level: If you like it hotter, you can add more red pepper flakes or even some hot sauce to the BBQ sauce. Or, if you want it milder, reduce the red pepper flakes a bit.
- Cooking method: While I’ve suggested using the Panasonic Countertop Induction Oven, you can also grill or bake the wings in a conventional oven. Just keep an eye on the temperature!
- Sticky sauce: If your BBQ sauce is too thick,adding a splash of water or a little bit of olive oil can help thin it out to your desired consistency.
Don’t forget, cooking is all about experimenting! If you make a mistake, just laugh it off—it’s all part of the journey! Enjoy the process and get ready to serve some amazing wings!
