My mom finally admitted my air fryer chicken wings beat her oven method

She called me Sunday after I dropped off a batch last weekend. Said she reheated one (just to test, you know) and the skin was still crispy almost 24 hours later. That got her to actually pull out the air fryer she got for Christmas two years ago. I told her to try tossing the wings in baking powder before cooking, and she texted back a photo of her own batch looking golden and perfect. Anyone else have a family member who finally converted after seeing the results in person?

Was the same way honestly... thought the air fryer was just another gadget taking up counter space until I tried wings out of one. Now I'm a full convert, that crispiness is no joke.

The baking powder trick works but you gotta be careful not to use too much or it can taste bitter. Just a light dusting does the job, like a teaspoon per pound of wings max. My sister swore by the oven method for years until she tried my air fryer buffalo wings and now she won't shut up about it. She actually gave her old oven to Goodwill and bought a bigger air fryer.
