Cooking Tips
For extra crispy wings, double-fry them. After the initial fry, let them cool slightly, then refry for a few minutes until extra crispy.
Don’t overcrowd the pan when frying. This will result in uneven cooking and less crispy wings.
Adjust the spice level to your liking by adding more or less chili powder or cayenne pepper.
