I finally figured out why my chicken wings were rubbery after 5 tries

Honestly, I spent three weeks trying to get crispy wings in my air fryer and they kept coming out like chewy leather. Turns out I was overcrowding the basket and not patting them dry enough before cooking. I had a batch take almost 45 minutes once because I tried to do 20 wings at once. After I split them into two batches and dried them with paper towels for a solid 2 minutes each, they came out perfect in 22 minutes. Anyone else waste a bunch of wings figuring out the right method?

Oh man, I feel your pain so hard. Did you also end up with a sad pile of sad, wet paper towels? I went through like half a roll before I learned to really, properly dry them off.
