Tips and Tricks
- The baking rack is key as it promotes airflow around the wings, making them crispier.
- Ensure the wings are not touching each other on the pan to avoid steaming and promote crispiness.
- Sprinkling baking powder (not soda) helps to draw moisture to the surface, drying it out and making the skin crisper.
- Baking at a higher temperature ensures crispiness without burning the seasoning.
