Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:

Wine Pairing:

Pair these crispy and flavorful wings with a slightly sweet and aromatic white wine, such as a Gewürztraminer or a Riesling. The wine’s sweetness will complement the crispy texture and the Asian-inspired flavors. Alternatively, a light and refreshing lager can also be a great match.
