Whole Chicken Wings

Store raw chicken wings in their original packaging or in an airtight container. For best quality, use within 1-2 days of purchase if refrigerating.

For crispier wings, pat them completely dry with paper towels before cooking.

Consider brining your wings for extra flavor and moisture.

Don't overcrowd the pan or baking sheet; give them space to crisp up.

Celery sticks and blue cheese or ranch dressing

French fries or potato wedges

Coleslaw

Beer or other preferred beverages
