Notes

Pat the Wings Dry: Pat your chicken wings dry with paper towels before marinating or cooking. This ensures a crispier skin by removing excess moisture.
Use a High-Heat Cooking Method: For the crispiest wings, bake or air fry at a high temperature. This helps create a golden, crunchy exterior while keeping the inside juicy.
Marinate Overnight: If you have the time, marinate your wings for at least 4-6 hours or overnight. This allows the flavors to soak in, making your wings even more flavorful.
Brush Sauce in the Last Few Minutes: Another technique is to apply your spicy chili sauce towards the end of cooking to avoid burning the sugars in the sauce. You’ll get the perfect glaze without charring.
Serve Immediately: For the best texture and flavor, serve your wings right after they cool down on the wire rack while they’re still crispy.
Additional Ingredients: To crisp up the chicken, you can lightly coat it with a mixture of baking powder and cornstarch. Brown sugar and kosher salt balance out the overall taste.
