I'm not saying it's the best nor am I a chef. I'm just telling others what works for me. Do whatever you want

I have a very simple recipe I use that makes very great wings in my air fryer.

Patted dry wings 360° for 12 min Flip 360° for 12 min Remove from air fryer

Mix and toss wings in 1:2 ratio of butter to Texas Pete (or preferred). (I used 2 tbl spoons of butter and 4 tbl spoons of hot sauce)

Then I lay when sauced wings on aluminum foil in a cookie sheet and dump the remaining sauce on the laid out wings. Broiler (oven) on high and broil wings for only 1-2 min until desired crispiness is achieved (due to the ease of burning them I check every 15 seconds)

Damn man. It's almost like you were just never good at it at all. Sorry bro
