Notes

For a crispier texture, consider using cornstarch instead of flour. If you don’t have an air fryer, bake the wings in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for 25-30 minutes. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in the air fryer for best results. Double the recipe for larger gatherings but remember to cook in batches to maintain crispiness.
