Preparation

Cooking
  1. Place the chicken wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Do not overcrowd; you may need to cook in batches.
  2. Cook the wings for 25-30 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking for even crispiness.
  3. Once the wings are golden and crispy, remove them from the air fryer.
  4. If desired, toss the wings in hot sauce or BBQ sauce before serving.

Notes

Make sure to pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels before seasoning to help them get crispy. Try to arrange the wings in a single layer without overlapping for an even cook. If you like extra crispy wings, you can spray them lightly with cooking spray before air frying.
