Hit 50 batches of air fryer chicken wings without a single soggy one

I tracked it in my kitchen notebook, and the 50th batch came out perfect last night. The trick is patting them bone dry, tossing in a tablespoon of cornstarch, and cooking at 400 for 22 minutes, flipping halfway. Has anyone else found a number that made them realize their method was finally working?

Wow, fifty batches is serious dedication to the craft. I've been chasing that crispy wing high for a while now. Does the cornstarch trick work just as well on frozen wings, or do you always thaw them first?

Have you tried patting frozen wings dry too? I bet the cornstarch would still stick if you let them sit out for a bit first. What temp do you run your air fryer at for frozen stuff?

Fifty batches and she's asking if cornstarch works on frozen wings? That's like climbing Everest and then asking if hiking boots are good for a park trail. You would think after fifty goes at it you would just test a frozen batch yourself instead of asking now.
