Chef Makoti revealed her special spice blend that transforms ordinary chicken wings into a flavor-packed treat. She combined paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, Cajun spice, chilli, and garlic pepper to create a delicious seasoning mix.

After putting the wings in a large bowl, she added a little oil to help the spices adhere to the chicken. Her secret ingredient for achieving restaurant-quality crunch is cornflour.

"I also added some cornflour so that my wings can be nice and crunchy on the outside," she shared.

After thoroughly mixing the wings with all the seasonings and cornflour, she arranged them in her air fryer, using liners to keep the appliance clean.
