Notes

Don't skip patting the chicken wings dry, or the chill time, both are integral to the skin getting extra crispy.
The baking powder is also key to the crispy skin. Don't skip it!
Taste the bang bang sauce before you add salt or more sriracha. You may find it is salty enough on its own and spicy enough already.
