What is the best way to get crispy chicken wings?

Pat the wings completely dry with paper towels, then toss with a small amount of baking powder (not baking soda) and salt. The baking powder raises the skin's pH, which helps it brown and crisp faster. Bake at 425°F on a wire rack for 45-50 minutes, flipping halfway.

Should I bake or fry chicken wings?

Both work great. Frying gives the crispiest result in the shortest time. Baking is easier and lower-fat — use a wire rack over a baking sheet for air circulation. Air frying is the best compromise: crispy skin with minimal oil in 25-30 minutes at 380°F.

When should I sauce my chicken wings?

Always sauce wings after cooking, not before. Wet sauce on raw wings prevents the skin from crisping and can burn. Cook the wings until crispy, then toss in sauce right before serving. For dry rubs, apply before cooking.
