Presentation and garnishing

To make the perfect Alabama White Wings, marinate the chicken wings in the white barbecue sauce for at least an hour before grilling or smoking them. This will infuse the wings with flavor and keep them moist and tender. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the wings are cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F. Finally, let the wings rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute. Garnish with chopped scallions or parsley for a pop of color.
