I made these last night and they were ROCK STAR! I did not cut the wings in half at joint nor remove the wing tips because it was just an extra step I didn't want to take. As a result, I did have to bake them a tad bit longer to allow the full sized wings to cook and get golden brown. I made the sauce exactly as directed using medium salsa and I did put them back in the oven after adding the sauce to set it as Sarah suggested toward the end. They were fabulous & my entire family loved them!
