Notes

  • Dry the wings before seasoning: Use paper towels to pat dry the wings before seasoning them. This will help remove excess moisture and ensure they cook evenly and become crispy.
  • Use an air fryer or oven: Air fryers and ovens are great for making crispy wings without the need for deep frying. They circulate hot air around the wings, creating a crispy texture.
  • Space the wings out: Whether you're using an air fryer or oven, make sure to space the wings out on the cooking surface. This allows for even cooking and prevents them from becoming soggy.
  • Season the wings generously: Don't be afraid to use plenty of Old Bay seasoning on your wings. The flavor can be quite strong, and a generous seasoning ensures each bite is packed with flavor.
  • Use cornstarch: Adding a bit of cornstarch to the seasoning mixture can help create an extra crispy coating on the wings.
