+
+### **📌 Pro Tips for Success**  
+✔ **No overcrowding!** Cook in batches if needed.  
+✔ **Baking powder trick:** For ultra-crispy skin, dust wings with **½ tsp baking powder + salt** before cooking (works best on thawed wings, but still helps frozen ones).  
+✔ **Extra crispy?** Double-fry method:  
+   - Cook at **360°F (180°C) for 15 mins**, then **400°F (200°C) for 5–8 mins**.  
+✔ **Sauce wisely:** Avoid sugary sauces until the end to prevent burning.
