That tip about preheating the basket turned my wings into rubber
My brother-in-law swore I had to preheat my air fryer basket for 5 minutes every single time, so I did that last Saturday with a batch of 12 drumettes. They came out chewy and pale, not crispy at all, and the skin stuck to the rack like glue. Has anyone else found preheating makes things worse, or is there a trick to doing it right?

Wait, you actually preheating for 5 minutes with the basket empty? That's insane, man. My air fryer hits 400 degrees in like 90 seconds, and I just throw the wings in cold, flip them halfway, and they come out with that crispy skin you can hear crack. The whole point is the hot air hitting cold food fast, not letting the basket get so hot the skin fuses to it like a stuck band-aid. Your brother-in-law owes you some wings for that nonsense.
