This Crispy Air Fryer Chicken Wings recipe delivers perfectly cooked, golden, and crispy wings using an air fryer. The wings are simply seasoned with salt, air fried in two stages for optimal crispiness, then tossed in your favorite sauce for a deliciously satisfying snack or meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Wings

  • 2 pounds chicken wings (thawed if frozen)
  • Salt, to taste

Sauce

  • Sauce of choice, for tossing (e.g., buffalo, BBQ, garlic parmesan)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for cooking the wings evenly.
  2. Season Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry thoroughly with a paper towel to remove excess moisture, then sprinkle them evenly with salt to enhance the flavor.
  3. Cook Wings: Arrange the wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving space between them for air circulation. Cook for 12 minutes, then flip the wings over to ensure even cooking and cook for another 12 minutes at the same temperature.
  4. Crisp Wings: Increase the air fryer temperature to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Continue cooking the wings for an additional 3 to 5 minutes until they are golden brown and extra crispy.
  5. Toss Sauce: Remove the cooked wings from the air fryer and toss them in your favorite sauce to coat thoroughly. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Make sure the wings are thawed completely if using frozen to cook evenly.
  • Patting the wings dry is essential to achieve crispy skin in the air fryer.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary.
  • Adjust cooking times based on the size of the wings and your specific air fryer model.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure wings reach an internal temperature of 165°F for food safety.
  • Customize with any sauce or dry rub of your choice for varied flavors.
