Why Baking Powder?

Baking powder help to break down the skin of the chicken and create tiny air bubbles which helps the skin crisp up much faster, leaving the chicken both juicier and crispier.

Sauces, Spices, and Seasonings

These wings are amazing served naked, but sometimes the best part about wings is the sauce! Here are some seasoning and sauce suggestions!

  • Chili powder and brown sugar - We love adding these to all of our basic grilled or smoked meats for a mild boost of flavor.
  • Lemon pepper seasoning
  • Cajun seasoning
  • Buffalo Sauce
  • Barbecue sauce
  • Hot honey
  • Thai Sweet Chili Sauce
  • Teriyaki Sauce
  • Garlic Parmesan - Melt 4 tablespoons of butter with 1 teaspoon garlic powder. Then mix in about 3 tablespoons grated parmesan and toss with the wings.

How to Keep Warm While Cooking in Batches

If you're making a large number of wings or have a small air fryer and need to work in batches, you can still keep your wings crispy and warm.

Place a cooling rack flat on a baking sheet or use broiling pan. Preheat your oven to 200°F and place prepared baking sheet in the oven as well. As each batch is cooked, place them on the sheet carefully until you're done and ready to serve!
