Frozen wings from the bag versus fresh, the air fryer made it obvious
I finally ran a side by side test last Tuesday with 12 wings, 6 frozen and 6 fresh from the butcher at Kroger. Same seasoning, same 400 degrees, same 25 minute cook time. The fresh ones came out with crisp skin that actually stayed crunchy, while the frozen ones were softer and a bit chewy in places. Do you all bother defrosting wings first, or is the convenience worth the texture trade off?

man I feel this so hard because I burned my mouth on a frozen wing last week and honestly that's on me for not waiting the full two minutes. I always tell myself I'll defrost overnight but then I forget and it's 6pm and I'm starving so the bag goes straight in. the texture thing is real though, frozen ones get that weird rubbery spot near the bone no matter what I do. but also I'm the guy who eats cold pizza for breakfast so my standards might be lower than yours. convenience wins for me most nights, even if I'm basically eating chicken flavored bubblegum sometimes.
