The Foil-Wrapped Rest Period

June 2019, and this batch got the foil-wrap treatment — letting the wings rest, tented, for a few minutes after coming out of the oven before the sauce toss. This is a genuinely underrated move: it lets the crust set a little more and keeps the whole batch hotter for longer once it hits the table. Or I just got distracted by something else in the kitchen. Both are plausible.
