Air Fryer Wing Secrets for Perfect Results
Here are some essential tricks that work for any style of wings cooked in the air fryer:
- Pat wings completely dry with paper towels; moisture prevents crispy skin.
- Let wings sit uncovered in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour to further dry out the skin.
- Lightly dust the wings with cornstarch, rice flour, potato flour, or aluminum-free baking powder before cooking for an extra crunch.
- Don’t overcrowd the basket; cook in batches if needed for proper air circulation.
- Flip wings halfway through cooking time for even browning on both sides.
