FAQs

How do you get sauce to stick to chicken wings?

The flour and cornstarch breading on the chicken wings before they bake not only helps to crisp up the skin on the wings but it also helps to give the sauce something to adhere to when they are finished baking. To get your sauce to stick to the chicken, make sure to cook your sauce until thickened and to not skimp out on the cornstarch coating.
