Shatteringly Crispy Without the Deep Fryer
I never thought I would say this, but the air fryer has changed my wing game forever. These come out with skin so crispy it practically shatters when you bite into it, while the meat stays juicy and tender inside. No deep frying, no oil splattering everywhere, no guilt. Just impossibly crispy wings that rival anything you would get from a restaurant or a sports bar.
The secret ingredient? Baking powder. Stay with me -- I promise it works.
