Dips & Sauces for Wings
Serve dry rub chicken wings on their own with carrots and celery or serve them with your favorite dipping sauces.
Keeping Chicken Wings Crispy
- For best results, patting the wings dry before seasoning is an important step to ensuring the oil and dry rub evenly and thoroughly coat the wings. This helps remove excess moisture so the skin stays extra crispy.
- Placing wings in a single layer with space between them in the Air Fryer ensures the hot air will circulate all around them, cooking them evenly. This same method applies to wings baked on a rack instead of directly on a baking sheet.
- Store leftover dry rub chicken wings in a covered container for up to 4 days and reheat them in a preheated Air Fryer or under the broiler.
