The baking soda is to tenderize the chicken. It's quite common with New Orleans Chicken wings (and slightly alters the texture), but you can skip it if you like.
The oil will be important to let the wings bake more gently.
I'm not sure how I would alter this recipe for an air-fryer, as I don't own one myself :/
Okay thank you for getting back to me! I did end up skipping the baking soda and air frying them. They turned out alright but i’ll have to try it that way. Airfryers are great and can do almost anything! Would recommend
Quick question, why the baking soda and the oil? Is it to get it crispy? Would you need either if you cooked it in the airfryer?
