Recipe Notes
Chicken Wings Recipe Tips
- Make sure to pat dry the chicken wings for the crispiest chicken!
- The dry seasoning spice adds a flavor the wings so they don't taste bland once the sauce layer is consumed!
- Have your air fryer preheated for 2 minutes before adding in the wings.
- When you spread the chicken wings in the air fryer, make sure they are in a single layer. Over lapping the wings will have them not cook or crisp up.
- Flip the wings halfway for crisping all over!
- Once ready and still piping hot, toss the chicken wings with the desired sauce. This infuses most flavor into the wings.
Can you Reheat your chicken wings in the air fryer?
While I definitely recommend eating your chicken wings the first time you cook them, if you need to reheat them, you can easily do this is the air fryer. Just place them in the air fryer to reheat for 5-7 minutes, turning them halfway through so they are reheated evenly. Make sure you still reheat them in a single layer and do them in batches if they don't all fit in one layer.
How long to cook chicken wings in the air fryer?
Depending on the size, your chicken wings should take between 25-28 minutes to cook through. Don't cook them past 30 minutes (unless they are huge wings) as you risk overcooking and burning them.
How Long to cook frozen chicken wings in the air fryer?
If you need to cook your wings from frozen, it should take around 35 to 40 minutes to cook through properly. Also make sure you read the package instructions if you're buying frozen breaded chicken wings, or frozen sauced chicken wings.
