- Place seasoned wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook the wings for 10-15 minutes, then turn them and continue cooking 10-15 minutes or until wings are golden brown.
- Remove from air fryer and serve with sauce of your choice.
Notes
-
- Use paper towels to blot any moisture off the wings before adding seasoning.
- Lightly coat the wings with around ½ teaspoon of baking powder—this helps the skin get extra crispy in the air fryer.
- Lay the wings out in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Don’t stack or crowd them. If your air fryer is on the smaller side, work in batches.
- Skip the frozen wings. Air fryers don’t handle frozen meat well—it can cook unevenly and stay raw inside. Defrost your wings ahead of time by tossing them in the fridge the night before. No extra steps—just let them sit overnight.
Some of my favorite wing sauces:
Truff Hot Sauce, Buffalo and BBQ Assortment, Medium Buffalo Sauce, and Asian Zing Sauce all make great dipping sauces for wings!Nutrition
