One Dinogo community member shared, "The prep is a breeze. I let my wings marinate overnight, and while they bake, I prep some celery sticks and get my favorite dip ready. These wings are fantastic!"

Danielle K. says, "I swapped in drumsticks because that’s what my family prefers. The seasoning was perfect. If you like a bit of spice, try adding sriracha sauce. These wings are a hit for gatherings!"

Mommy2bdaniel raves, "These wings come out crispy and packed with flavor! Everyone loved them. I substituted smoked paprika for chili powder and added a bit of onion powder. Garlic salt instead of garlic powder worked great!"
