"Just as with any party prep, you'll want to get as much as you can done ahead of time. This allows you to focus on keeping hot food hot the day of the party and not on any last-minute stirring of onions into sour cream. Ideally, everything that needs to be hot should be cooked well before game time, then reheated just before you need it."
"But don't toss them in their coating sauces just yet. You'll do that the day of. Just before people come over, blast them in a hot oven for about 10 minutes. As they reheat, take the time to prepare or heat up any sauces, then transfer them to a large bowl. There, they'll be ready to catch the wings as soon as they're out of the oven, so all you have to do is toss and serve."
Do as much prep as possible before game day so focus can remain on keeping hot food hot during the event. Cook items that must be hot well before game time and reheat them rather than cooking them fully at serving time. Keep coatings and sauces separate until the day of the party to avoid sogginess. Reheat wings in a hot oven for about 10 minutes, warm or prepare sauces, and toss wings in the sauce immediately after reheating. Make-ahead chilis and ribs improve with resting, but hold off on finishing sauces or coatings until reheating.
