Tips & Substitutions
For a spicier kick, add sriracha or your favorite hot sauce to the marinade. If you don't have Catalina French dressing, you can substitute with a mix of French dressing and a bit of ketchup.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen chicken wings for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen chicken wings, but make sure to thaw them completely before marinating. Thaw them in the refrigerator overnight or use the defrost setting on your microwave. This ensures even marination and cooking.
What if I don't have a broiler pan?
If you don't have a broiler pan, you can use a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Place a wire rack on top to allow the grease to drain off as the wings cook. This will help achieve a crispy texture similar to using a broiler pan.
Can I bake the wings instead of broiling?
Absolutely! To bake, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and place the marinated wings on a baking sheet. Bake for 30-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and cooked through. This method is great if you prefer a more hands-off cooking approach.
