I got one too. I'm excited to start using it after we plow through all these leftovers. Just be sure to brush with oil is what I've read

I preseason/brine for several hours or overnight. drop in simmering water till mostly cooked. chill on open air cooling racks for a couple hours in the fridge to dry out the skin. coat with oil and go to town!

Don't overload the basket. 26 minutes at 380. Flip them over halfway through.

Fries I tested with leftover loin came out nice and crispy

Poach the wings before cooking. It makes oven wings crispy so I'm sure it works double for air fryer wings.

If you coat them in olive oil and season, they will come out crispy.

Can anyone explain why poaching leads to crispier skin? Seems counterintuitive

You can go high and hot since the wing is already cooked through

You gotta make sure the skin is dry though

We do them in our instapot duo crisp. Start with frozen wings

9 minutes high pressure

Take out and toss in seasoning and a very small amount of olive oil

18 minutes on air fry, toss halfway through

I think it's something to do with rendering the fat in the skin before cooking.

I have a the same fryer. Maybe I’m too simplistic but I take frozen wings throw them in a bowl spray the with Pam and season with slap ya momma then toss a little before putting in the fryer. I let the touch but not stack. 400 for 9 minutes, flip, hit with another coat of pam then another 7 minutes. Toss them in hot sauce and go to town - I prefer Frank’s. Mine are always crispy.

First try came out perfect. Air dried in the fridge overnight then tossed in some baking powder and then oil.

Alton Brown did a wing segment and he steams them rendering the fat then refrigerates them for a few hours. We now use that method and even using just our oven they come out crispy.

I just pull the wings out the package, cut them, season them, and load up the basket. I open it up and shake the basket a couple times. They’ve always been crispy and I’ve never had any problems.
