Tips
- Add more cooking time than specified in this recipe if the wings are not crispy enough to your liking.
- Don’t go crazy on seasoning, less is more! Instead, get creative on your dips and sauces and sides!
- Never overcrowd the basket or baking tray to avoid the chicken wings steaming. Keep a single even layer with some space between the wings to get them as crispy as possible.
- Make sure the chicken wings are as dry as possible before seasoning, this way the spices get a chance to stick, and the skin gets crispy.
