Notes

• This is the Reynaldo's Cocina crispy wing method where the seasoning is built directly into the coating for maximum flavor.
• Cornstarch helps create a lighter crisp texture while flour provides structure.
• Baking powder helps develop extra crunch and surface texture.
• Double frying creates a restaurant style exterior while keeping the inside juicy.
• Pat the wings completely dry before coating for the best results.
• Let the coated wings rest before frying to help the coating adhere.
• Add the garlic parmesan finish lightly so the wings stay crispy.
• Serve immediately for maximum crunch and texture.
