Notes

KEY STEP to follow for that perfect crispy texture – First, pat dry the chicken wings. Then add your dry spices, season with salt and make sure to coat it evenly with corn starch. 

AIR FRIED or BAKED? 

I used to always bake chicken wings by layering the wings on a cookie wire rack.
But then I started using Air Fryer! And I felt that even though my Air fryer cooks in small batches, it cooks much faster and gives that perfect crispy texture.
