Brining chicken is nothing new, but the real genius comes when the wings are cooked in the brine before frying.
Do you season the wings before air frying?Spray the basket of a 3.5-quart air fryer with cooking spray and set aside. Pat the chicken wings dry and sprinkle generously with salt. Place the wings in the fryer basket so they are not touching (if necessary to fit, line up the drumettes standing upright along the sides).
What do you coat wings in before an air fryer?Coat the chicken wings with nonstick spray. You can use vegetable or olive oil instead, if you prefer. Toss with salt and baking powder until the wings are thoroughly coated.
Should you marinade wings before cooking?One of the best ways to add amazing flavor to your wings, while retaining juiciness is by marinading your wings. I find that if I toss my wings in my marinade the day before and let them sit in the fridge overnight, they soak in all the good flavors. This is also great for when I have frozen wings.
