Notes
Before seasoning or coating the chicken wings, pat them dry with paper towels. Removing excess moisture helps the wings cook more evenly and produces crispier skin.
Arrange the chicken wings in a single layer, leaving space between each piece. Overcrowding the basket can lead to uneven cooking and less crispy results.
Use a light cooking spray to help crisp the skin and prevent sticking.
A meat thermometer can be used to check the internal temperature of the thickest part of the chicken wing. The safe internal temperature for chicken is 165°F (74°C).
