Street vendors fry samosas in two stages - low heat first to cook the pastry all the way through, then a blast of higher heat to turn the outside deep golden and blistered. Skip the first stage and you get raw, doughy pastry under a browned shell; skip the second and the samosas stay pale and soft instead of properly crisp and flaky.

Patting the wings completely dry and starting them uncovered in a hot oven, rather than immediately drenching them in sauce, is what gets the skin crisp before anything sticky goes near it - sauce added too early just steams the skin instead of letting it crisp. Tossing the wings in the honey BBQ glaze only in the last few minutes keeps that sticky exterior from burning while everything sets into a glossy coating.
