This is my go-to recipe for chicken wings. They're always crispy and flavorful. I love the sweet and spicy sauce.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The chicken was dry and the sauce was bland. I won't be making this again.

This was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I'll try it again with less cayenne pepper next time.

Absolutely delicious! The combination of sweet and spicy was perfect. I used chicken thighs instead of breasts and it turned out so juicy and flavorful. Will definitely be making this again!
