You can't get wings crispy or get any toppings to stick if they are wet.

I would think dry ingredients would stick better on wet surface? What is best way to dry wings? A whole lot of paper towel?

Go back through this thread and find the link that GotGarlic shared in post #18. It explains better than I can. There's more than one way to do it. The article discusses them.

You don't use the tips. You break them off and throw them away.

Use a hair dryer.

I have the original Anchor Bar recipe, and it says, in part,

"Preheat the oven to 250^oF. Bake the wings for 15 minutes, then deep fry in vegetable oil to the desired texture (soft or crispy)."

The Korean Fried Chicken recipe? I kind of scanned through that. I saw it used peanut oil which I wanted to avoid in case anyone was allergic. It mentioned drying?

Actually the wings I got at store are precut into wing or drum parts. No tips left.

Cooking4Fun - even though a recipe may call for Peanut Oil doesn't mean you have to use it. Sub it for Vegie oil.

I didn't mention that for the recipe. It's that Kenji explains so well, different ways to dry the skin on the chicken wings. He tells you the results of his experiments.

Do wings need drying for air frying? My understanding is air fryers are just mini convection ovens?

 

[Andy M.]

I recommend drying them first. An airfryer will dry them but then cooking will take longer because the wings have to be dried before they can start cooking and crisping.

Yes, air fryers are convection ovens.

Or save them in the freezer until you opt to make stock!
