Notes
- Even Coating Matters: Ensure each chicken wing is evenly coated with the breading mixture to achieve a uniform texture and flavor after air-frying. This can be achieved by shaking off excess flour and pressing the breading onto the wings gently.
- Mind the Temperature: Preheating your air fryer before adding the wings ensures they cook evenly and achieve a crispy exterior. Additionally, keep an eye on the wings towards the end of the cooking time to prevent them from overcooking and becoming dry.
- Customize the Sauce: Experiment with different sauces to cater to various tastes. Whether it's a tangy barbecue sauce, a sweet teriyaki glaze, or a zesty lemon pepper seasoning, adjusting the sauce can elevate the flavor profile of your chicken wings to suit different preferences.
