Is it better to air fry and refrigerate my wings or to wait to air fry them tomorrow?
I'm going to make some chicken wings in my air fryer (https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchen/air-fryer-chicken-wings-5565422). I have 1.5 lbs of wings which is too much for me to eat in one sitting - so my question is is it better to cook them all now and then refrigerate and reheat some tomorrow or cook half now and cook the other half tomorrow?
Best Answer
I would suggest dry brining the extra half and leaving uncovered overnight so you get an even crispier skin.

Answer 2
Conventional wisdom says that freshly cooked food is better than re-heated food (*)
So I would cook half today and second half tomorrow.
I would maybe marinate the second half of the wings.
(*) yes there are exceptions like leftover pizza. :-)
