Notes
- I do not recommend using frozen chicken wings for this recipe, see my tips above.
- We like to use the wings and drumettes for this and not flats, you can find them broken down at the store under the name wingettes.
- Easily double this recipe for larger crowds!
- You can use any dipping sauces that you like if you are a dipper, we prefer ranch or blue cheese.
- Do not cook on high, always cook these on low, see my tips above on why.
