Learn how to make perfectly crispy chicken wings in your air fryer. This recipe is ideal for game day, parties, or any occasion where you need a crowd-pleasing appetizer. Includes tips for dry rubs, sauces, and cooking from frozen.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs chicken wings, separated into drumettes and flats
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Your favorite wing sauce (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken wings completely dry with paper towels. This is crucial for crispy skin.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the wings with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using). Ensure each wing is evenly coated.
  3. Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd the basket; cook in batches if necessary.
  4. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through.
  5. For extra crispiness, increase the temperature to 425°F (220°C) and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
  6. If using sauce, toss the cooked wings in your favorite sauce immediately after removing them from the air fryer.
  7. Serve hot and enjoy.

Notes

  • For frozen wings, add 5-10 minutes to the cooking time and ensure they are cooked through.
  • Experiment with different dry rubs and sauces to find your favorite flavor combinations.
  • To scale the recipe for a crowd, simply cook multiple batches.
  • Consider using a wire rack inside the air fryer basket for even better air circulation and crispier results.
