Notes
Adjust everything to personal taste if wanted, but be warned that lemon won’t replace lemon grass.
Use a paper towel to dry out the wings and remove the extra water or let the wings air dry in the fridge. This will ensure that the wings will be even crispier. A drier skin makes a crispier skin.
For even crispier wings, brush the wings with oil, air fry at 300f for another 5 minutes. After, don’t open the airfryer door, and let them cool in the airfryer for another 5 minutes at least.
After air frying, don’t open the air fryer door. Let the chicken wings cool down in the airfryer for at least 5 minutes to retain and create an even crunchier skin.
