Air fryer chicken wings came out dry every time until I tried this one thing

I've been making chicken wings in my air fryer for months and they always came out dry and sad. Last weekend at a friend's barbecue in Portland, their wings were perfect and they said the trick is tossing them in baking powder before cooking. I tried it at home with 2 tablespoons for a dozen wings at 380 degrees for 25 minutes. The skin actually crisped up without drying out the meat. Has anyone else tried this method or do you have a better way?

Did you flip them halfway or just let them sit the whole 25 minutes? I skip the baking soda and just pat them bone dry before seasoning.

Oh man, isn't that the same with almost everything though? People get so hung up on complicated steps when just keeping it simple works way better. I swear we overthink half of what we do in the kitchen and everywhere else too.

Man that baking powder trick saved my wings too, such a game changer.
