Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, marinate the wings in the soy sauce, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper for at least 30 minutes before cooking. You can substitute the chicken wings with drumsticks or thighs if preferred. If you like it spicier, consider adding a dash of sriracha or chili flakes. Adjust the oil based on your cooking method; a non-stick pan requires less.
