re: Cooking Wings in Oven

When I fry them, I don't sauce them until after and I sometimes put them in the oven for just a bit depending on the sauce. A thick sauce will set a bit. If they're sauced ahead of time, they may not get the crisp you want and sugar in the sauce might burn if there's any in it.

It's a matter of personal taste, though. I'm not a wing expert, but I like that crispiness under that wet sauce...a conflict of textures.
