Allrecipes Community Tips and Praise

“The prep work is easy,” according to one Allrecipes community member. “I let my wings marinate overnight. While your wings are baking, make some celery sticks and get your favorite dip ready. These wings taste excellent.”

“I used drumsticks instead since that’s a family preference,” says Danielle K. “The seasoning was spot on. If you like to add some heat, sriracha sauce pairs nicely. Great for get togethers!”

“Wings come out crispy and flavorful,” raves mommy2bdaniel. “Everyone loved them. I added smoked paprika in place of chili powder and added a little onion powder. I also used garlic salt in place of garlic powder.”
