I've refrigerated hot wings in a closed container before, and then baked them in the oven the next day on a cooking sheet, but they came out kind of gross (dry and the flavor isn't as good).

Anyone know of a good technique for reheating hot wings?

You don't reheat them. Either you eat them fresh and hot or you eat them cold.

First time eating pizza and wings?

I was in the exact same situation you are about a month ago. Fearing that reheating would ruin them, I simply ate them cold. My roommate loosely wrapped his in a paper towel and threw them in the microwave. I found both to be quite enjoyable.

Seeing as I prefer my wings more on the dry side - I would reheat (if at all) like you did in an oven. Just not too long so they start juicing out. I never... EVER microwave chicken, because I tend to heat it too long making the bone like a flaming skewer of death in my mouth.

If there's enough sauce....bake them in the oven/toaster oven, microwave the sauce, combine. If not, microwave is better.

That would be desirable, I'll have to remember to set some extra sauce aside when I make my next batch. I've been trying hot wing recipes on the internet once a month for the last few months and they've all been coming out pretty great so far, I've just had difficulty with the leftovers.

I concur w/ nakedfrog on this technique, it has worked well in the past for me as long as there is a good amount of sauce left w/ the wings. :)
