Finally figured out why my chicken wings were coming out rubbery after 3 years of trying

Turns out I was cramming too many in the basket at once last month and blocking the air flow, so now I do batches of 6 wings max and they actually crisp up right, has anyone else dealt with overcrowding killing their texture?

Yeah overcrowding is the number one killer of crispy wings. I had the same problem for years. Learned the hard way that they need space for the hot air to circulate. Also try patting them dry with paper towels before seasoning, that extra moisture on the skin will steam them instead of crisp.

Kenji Lopez-Alt mentioned the same thing in his wing recipe.
