Tips

  • Pat chicken dry thoroughly to ensure crispy skin.
  • Use a metal rack for even crisping; if not available, flip wings every 20 minutes.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet.
  • For extra crispy wings, broil for the last 2-3 minutes (watch carefully).
  • Reheat leftover wings in an oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
  • If you have egg allergies, use a mixture of aluminum-free baking powder and salt instead of egg whites
