Can I double the recipe?

Yes! For a big group you might want to double this recipe. Cook the wings in two batches and then toss all together in the sauce in a large bowl.

Can I make them in the oven?

Yes. Arrange the seasoned wings on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake at 425F for 20 minutes. The exact cooking time will depend on how big the wings are. Check for an internal temperature of 165F

Can I use whole chicken wings?

Yes! Cook them from whole or cut down into drumettes and wingettes. If you cook from whole, add a little extra time.

Can I use frozen chicken wings?

Yes, but I do not recommend cooking from frozen. Allow the wings to thaw completely and pat dry to remove any excess moisture before tossing in the spices and following the rest of the recipe.

Should I use baking powder?

No! You don't need to. Some recipes suggest using baking powder for an extra crispy wing. The air fryer circulates the air around the air fryer rack and gets the wings nice and crispy without the need for baking powder.
