Tips for Crispy Air Fryer Chicken Wings
What about baking powder? You may have heard baking powder will
make your wings crispy. I've tried it and didn't find a discernable
difference in my wings so I prefer to skip the baking powder. If you
want to add it, mix one teaspoon of baking powder with your spice mixture.
Dry your wings. This is an essential step if you want crispy
chicken wings. Just pat dry with paper towels.
Season well. Make sure your wings are coated well with the
seasoning mixture. Season the wings in advance and let them sit a bit
uncovered in your refrigerator.
Let your wings chill uncovered in the refrigerator after seasoning
them. Letting the wings dry out a bit more will enhance the crispiness
of the wings.
Don't crowd the wings as they cook. Place them in a single layer
in the basket of your air fryer.
Turn the wings over halfway through the total cooking time.
