Tips for Crispy Homemade Chicken Wings
- With every air fryer recipe, the key to perfect results is to always preheat the air fryer before adding the food. The burst of hot air circulates around the food giving it a crispy exterior without using a lot of fat.
- Avoid overcrowding the air fryer or the wings will not get crispy.
- It’s best to make more than one batch and add all of the wings to the air fryer for a few minutes of final crisping.
