Rest for at least 30 minutes — or overnight in the fridge — so the flavors marry. The sauce improves significantly with time.

To finish smoked wings: toss or dunk the wings straight off the smoker. The residual heat lightly sets the sauce onto the skin. Serve extra sauce alongside as a dip — do not return wings to the grill after saucing.
Deep, saucy, forgiving — the flavors marry in the fridge. This is prep's best friend. Reheat gently with a splash of water or stock to loosen it.
Home: Warm gently in a pan with a splash of water or stock to loosen — it's a braise, it's even better today.
On the go: Microwave covered with a splash of water or stock, ~2 min, stir halfway. Forgiving — it's better on day two.
