When life gives you lemons, drop everything and make this cake. It's super moist and flavorful, some people might even say life-changing. I have it for breakfast, with tea, as a dessert, basically any time I can make an excuse to eat it.

Place in refrigerator and allow to rest, uncovered, at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours.</li><li>Preheat the oven to 450F. Add chicken wings and cook for 20 minutes. Flip wings and continue to cook until crisp and golden brown, 15 to 25 minutes longer.</li><li>Meanwhile, make the sauce. Heat the oil in a pan over low heat. Add the minced ginger, garlic, and rice vinegar. Add green chilies. Fry for 2 minutes, or until fragrant. Stir in the garam masala, black pepper, soy sauce, Sriracha,&nbsp;and ketchup.</li><li>Once the sauce thickens and has a good consistency, turn off the heat.

The perfect gameday snack, with much more flavor than anything you'd get delivered. Definitely get the air-chilled chicken wings if you can find them—they have less retained moisture and turn out extra crispy. And make sure to pat them dry realllllly well.
