Game day is my Super Bowl. Tell me the crowd and I'll count the wings.

Only Wings counts it for you. If wings are the main event, plan about 6–10 pieces per person; with lots of other food, about 3–5. Chicken is safe at 165°F, and many cooks go higher for crispier wings.
Labor Day weekend means cookouts and football. Use Only Wings to count wings and sauces, set up a dip bar, and keep cold dips on ice. Two hours max out of the fridge for perishables.
Happy Labor Day! Wings to 165°F, burgers to 160°F, and nothing perishable sitting out more than 2 hours, or 1 hour above 90°F. Enjoy the long weekend and the last taste of summer.
I'm not saying I love wings, but I'd fly for them. My game day diet is 90% wings and 10% yelling. Wing it to win it.
Chicken wings are safe at 165°F. Many people cook them a bit higher, around 175–185°F, because the extra heat renders fat and makes them tender. Both are safe. Higher is just juicier-crispy.
Pat wings very dry and toss with a little baking powder (not baking soda) and salt. Bake on a rack at a high temperature, flipping once, until crispy and at least 165°F. Toss in sauce right before serving.
