FAQs

Can I air‑fry these wings?

It results in a semi‑sticky coat—adjust honey or simmer longer if desired.

Can I make the glaze ahead?

Yes—store separately and toss wings before serving.

Are these gluten‑free?

If using gluten‑free soy sauce/coconut aminos and cornstarch, yes.

Can I reheat in microwave?

You can, but wings will soften. Oven is recommended.

How to make them spicy?

Add Sriracha or chili flakes to the glaze.

Can I use drumsticks?

Yes—adjust baking time to ensure they’re cooked through.

Can I freeze wings?

Yes—freeze glazed or plain wings up to 3 months; thaw overnight, then bake or glaze.

Will they be crispy the next day?
