Recipe Notes.

• For extra crispy skin, pat the wings with a paper towel before adding to the spice mix to absorb any excess moisture. Leaving them uncovered in the fridge for an hour will also dry them out nicely.
• Please be sure to space out the wings in the air fryer. Don’t be tempted to overcrowd it otherwise, you will not get the desired crispiness.
• Once cooked, these wings can be kept covered in the fridge for up to 4 days. They will lose their crispness but can be placed back in a preheated air fryer or oven for a few minutes to bring them back to life.
• Don’t overcrowd the chicken wings in the air fryer. If they are sitting too close together, they won’t cook and crisp as evenly.
