Tips
- Even Crispiness: For even cooking, ensure the wings are spread out and not overcrowded.
- Custom Spice Mix: Feel free to experiment with your own blend of spices to customize the flavor.
- Storage and Reheating: Store leftover wings in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 180°C (356°F) for 5-7 minutes to regain crispiness.
