Air Fryer Chicken Wings: Crispy, Juicy, and Perfectly Seasoned

Serve these wings with a side of celery and carrot sticks for a classic wing experience.
Leftover wings can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes to bring back the crispy texture.
Variations
Spicy Honey Garlic Wings: For a sweet and spicy twist, toss the cooked wings in a mixture of honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and a touch of chili flakes.
Lemon Pepper Wings: After air frying, toss the wings in a mixture of melted butter, lemon zest, and cracked black pepper for a zesty flavor.
BBQ Wings: Coat the wings with BBQ sauce for a smoky, tangy flavor that pairs perfectly with the crispy texture.
FAQ
1. Can I use frozen chicken wings?
Yes, you can cook frozen chicken wings in the air fryer! Just increase the cooking time to 30–35 minutes, flipping halfway through. No need to thaw them first.

2. How can I make sure the wings are fully cooked?
Ensure that the internal temperature of the chicken wings reaches 165°F (74°C). A meat thermometer is a great tool to confirm doneness.

3. Can I make these wings without oil?
Yes, you can skip the oil, but using a small amount helps with crispiness. You can also lightly spray the wings with cooking spray before air frying to help them crisp up.

4. Can I make the wings spicier?
Absolutely! Adjust the heat by increasing the cayenne pepper or adding a dash of hot sauce to the seasoning mix. For an extra kick, drizzle more hot sauce after cooking.
