Can I use frozen wings?

Yes, but here's the trick - thaw them completely first, then pat them extra dry. Frozen wings release more moisture as they cook, which can prevent that perfect crispiness we love. If you're in a pinch, you can air fry from frozen (add 5-7 extra minutes), but fresh or thawed wings will always give you that ideal golden crunch.

How do I make them spicier?

Oh, I love this question! For fiery wings, add 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne to the seasoning mix. After cooking, toss them in a blend of melted butter and your favorite hot sauce (I'm partial to Frank's RedHot). Want nuclear-level heat? A pinch of ghost pepper powder will do the trick - just be careful when handling it!

Why aren't my wings crispy?

Two likely culprits: either you didn't dry them well enough before seasoning, or you overcrowded the air fryer basket. Remember - moisture and crowding are the enemies of crispiness! Also, older air fryers might need a few extra minutes - trust your eyes more than the timer when judging doneness.
