Notes
Pro Tips for the Best Air Fryer WIngs
For the best results, dry the wings overnight. But if you don't have time for that, adding a small amount (½ tsp) of aluminum-free baking powder to the seasoning mix. It's a great way to make the the skin extra crisp. Baking powder will create a chemical reaction with the proteins in the skin which is why it gets crispy.storing and reheating instructions
