My sister called my wings "soggy" and it stung but she was right

I was bragging about my air fryer buffalo wings at Sunday dinner and she said they were mushy on the bottom. Turns out I wasn't patting the wings dry enough before tossing them in cornstarch and sauce. Has anyone else had to totally change their prep because of one piece of feedback?

Cornstarch before sauce is the issue, not just drying.

Haha yeah that's a good point. My buddy tried to shortcut the drying step once and just dusted on cornstarch right before he seared. Turned into a sticky mess that looked more like paste than a crust.
