Tips For The Best Wings
- Before seasoning or cooking, pat your chicken wings dry.
- Then, don’t be shy with your spices. Whether it’s a simple salt and pepper combo or a custom blend like Homemade Poultry Seasoning, Creole Seasoning, or Tuscan Seasoning Blend, make sure those wings are well-covered.
- For oven-baked wings, toss them with a bit of baking powder (not soda!) along with your seasonings. This helps dry out the skin and get it super crispy.
- When baking, start with a lower temperature to cook them through, then crank up the heat to crisp up the skin.
- Whether you’re frying or baking, give your wings some space. Crowding the pan leads to steam, and steam means no crisp.
- If you’ve tossed them in marinades, let them marinade overnight.
- Use proper sauces like blue cheese or ranch?
- Wings are best served hot. If you’ve got leftovers, reheat them in the oven or air fryer to bring back some of the crispiness.
