Notes
Tips for making extra crispy wings:
1. Thaw the night before in the fridge so there’s no extra moisture from being frozen.
2. Pat dry so skin crisps up and oil and seasoning sticks
3. Bake on a wire rack set over top of the baking tray so the air flows around the wings and gets everything super crispy.
4. Don’t overcrowd otherwise you won’t get an even crisp and some of the pieces will be soggy.
