Crispy Air Fryer Chicken Wings

Whip up some incredibly crispy chicken wings right in your air fryer! It’s easier than you might think. The wings come out perfectly cooked on the inside with a deliciously crispy skin, staying juicy since they’re lightly coated with a bit of oil from the start. Plus, this method uses far less fat than traditional frying.

Cook times can vary based on your air fryer model and the size of the wings. It’s a good idea to check on them after 20 minutes to avoid overcooking. If they need a bit more time, just give them another 3-5 minutes. You’ll get wings that are wonderfully tender inside with a crisp exterior that rivals any baked or deep-fried wing.

With the even circulation of hot air, every part of the wings gets perfectly crispy without the need to flip them constantly. Using an air fryer also means less oil is needed, making this dish a lighter, healthier choice.

Pro Tip

Don’t hold back on the spices. Whether you’re a fan of classic barbecue, garlic and paprika, or something a bit sweeter like honey mustard, go ahead and season generously. Each flavor adds its own kick, making these wings not just tasty but also a hit at any gathering.

Enjoy your feast of crispy, flavorful chicken wings that are sure to impress, with none of the guilt of traditional frying!

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 ½ lbs chicken wings approx. 6 pieces, 700 g
• 3 tsp chicken seasoning mix adjust quantity to taste
• 1 pinch salt to taste
• 1 tbsp oil

Instructions

 

• Start by washing the chicken wings and tossing them in a bowl. Drizzle with a tablespoon of oil, sprinkle with salt, add your chosen spice mix, and toss everything together to coat the wings evenly.
  
• Set your air fryer to 400°F (200-205°C) and cook the wings for 20 minutes. Halfway through, check on them and turn any that are browning less on the bottom. Feel free to brush on a bit more oil if you’d like.

  After the initial 20 minutes, if the wings need more time, put them back in for an additional 3-5 minutes at the same temperature.
  
• Once they're crispy and cooked through, remove the wings from the air fryer and serve them hot.
