Found a trick for air fryer chicken wings from a random grandma at the grocery store

I was standing in the frozen aisle last week trying to pick out wings for game day, and this older lady just walked up and said 'put a tiny pinch of baking powder on them before you air fry.' I laughed at first but she was dead serious. Tried it on 3 pounds of wings and honestly the skin came out way crispier than anything I ever got before. Anybody else got a weird tip from a stranger that actually worked?

The grandma just casually dropping secrets like that is wild. @the_parker knew what was up.

And then my neighbor saw me trying that and goes 'oh yeah you gotta pat them bone dry first, the baking powder don't work if they're wet.' So now I do both and it's like restaurant quality wings at home, wild how random people just have the secrets.

My friend tried baking powder on wet wings once and sent me a photo of something that looked like fried chicken skin from a horror movie, so yeah @the_parker's neighbor nailed it.
