  Chef's Note: I like to buy the whole wing, and then cut it up myself...
• 
  Step 7
  Place the chicken on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
• 
  Step 8
  Chef’s Note: If you have a rack that you can place in the baking sheet that will help the drippings separate from the chicken.

  Remove from the oven when the chicken is just beginning to brown.

  Chef's Tip: If you like your sauce a bit thicker (and I do), make a slurry out of cornstarch or arrowroot, and add to the sauce while it's simmering.
