If you want to take a detour from spicy wings, try this Italian-inspired recipe instead. “The trick to keeping these oven-baked chicken wings crispy is parboiling the wings in a flavorful liquid, which helps season the chicken and produce a surface texture in the oven that your guests will swear came straight out of a deep fryer,” says Chef John.
