Do you put sauce on wings before or after baking?

You can put sauce on wings both before and after baking. Some recipes you fully bake the wings and then sauce them after. Some wing recipes you cook the wings with the sauce on so it can caramelize. Some recipes you do a combination and sauce both before and after cooking.
