Placing food on paper towels after frying, or placing it on a rack?

What about paper towel for a second then rack. Any benefit to this?

Wire rack, no paper towels

A rack. Paper towels do well at absorbing excess grease initially but once absorbed whatever you fried will sit in the greasy paper towels and the excess moisture will make the surface soggier. A rack allows for quicker cooling, grease to drip completely off the food and moisture to evaporate helping to preserve that crispy goodness.

Put a little corn starch in the flour and it will be crispy

A rack with paper towels under it to catch the excess grease.

I think Alton Brown used a rack, upside down, directly resting on newspaper. The theory I think, was that the paper wicked away any grease from the rack.

I've actually switched to straight corn starch years ago and I've never had issues. I find it's a lot more forgiving than flour.

I use a rack over paper plates, so there is space between the rack and the plate such that the rack is elevated. Or, I put a larger rack over a foil covered baking sheet, but again, the rack is elevated, so there's no steaming to the bottom of the fried food.
