I have some thawed out wings, how do you think those will hold up?
Hello Rachelle! Sorry, I don’t understand what you mean. The wings should be thawed before baking. Please let me know if you have any other questions. xo
Your recipe calls for frozen wings and I only had fresh wings, that is what I was asking. I used them and they still came out fantastic, but cooked much quicker 🙂 My family loved the sauce so much, thank you!
