What are your thoughts on baking wings instead of frying them?

I was too tired to make hot wings last night so I’m making them tonight. Will they be lousy if I bake them? I’m guessing yes, but I don’t want to deal with the mess:))))

UPDATE: Wow! I wasn’t expecting so many responses! I’ve decided to do the Kenji method though a shorter time in the fridge. I’ll keep y’all posted. TYSM:)))

UPDATE 2: Success! I doubt I’ll ever fry them again. I used Frank’s original & added honey, dried mustard, garlic powder & a dash of dried ginger. Thank you all again for the thoughtful feedback!
