Frozen vs fresh wings in the air fryer, no contest

Last Friday I threw in a batch of frozen wings straight from the bag and did another batch that I'd thawed overnight. Same temp, same time, same seasoning. The frozen ones came out chewy and pale in spots, even after I added 8 extra minutes. The fresh ones were crispy in 22 minutes with zero fuss. Why bother with frozen when fresh takes less time and tastes better? Has anyone else done this side by side and got the opposite result?

Read somewhere the ice crystals wreck the texture, makes total sense now.
