Video transcript
To keep wings warm for a few hours, tightly wrap them in aluminum foil to retain heat, place them in a thermal bag or insulated container, and keep them in a low-heat oven set to around 150°F (65°C). This ensures they stay warm without continuing to cook. Additionally, you can place a warm, moist towel over the thermal container to maintain humidity and prevent the wings from drying out.
