Do you ever just crave a crispy, juicy, delicious basket of wings without having to go out? For some reason, my kids love appetizers for dinner and we can make a meal out of these Air Fryer Chicken Wings with Nacho Fries and this Easy Stromboli! The more I use my air fryer the more I love it! Nothing beats that crispy exterior (with less oil!) and juicy interior. Some of our other air fryer favorites are these Air Fryer Meatballs, Boneless Air Fryer Chicken Thighs and this Air Fryer Chicken Breast — they are all so juicy and flavorful. But these wings — you have got to give them a try!
Ingredients Needed for Air Fryer Chicken Wings:
Chicken Wings: split chicken wings are what I use for this recipe, skin on for the best crispy coating! Oil: this is how we get that golden exterior! Corn Starch: soaks up any excess moisture and creates a nice crust. Seasoning salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika: all add a ton of flavor! I use Lawry’s seasoning salt, but whichever is your favorite will work. Sauce: this is optional (they taste amazing without any), but you can use buffalo sauce, barbecue sauce, or any of your favroites! They also taste great with this Garlic Parmesan Wing Sauce.
How to make air fryer wings:
They are just as easy as making these Crockpot Chicken Wings, but they come together even quicker!
How to split chicken wings:
If you can’t find already split chicken wings, you can split for own!
Cut wings into three pieces. Start by stretching out the wing on your cutting board and cutting between the joint of the drumette and the wingette. Then make a second cut between the wingette and the wing tip. Place drumettes and wingettes in a large bowl. You can save and freeze the wing tips to make chicken stock!
How to cook frozen chicken wings in the air fryer:
Cooking frozen chicken wings in the air fryer is easy to do! Simply toss in oil and seasoning as the recipe calls for, and cook for 10 minutes, then flip and continue cooking for 10-20 minutes until done and crispy, checking every 5-10 minutes until done. The only problem you make encounter is that the coating and seasoning does not stick as well with frozen chicken wings, since they will release some moisture as they cook. If this happens, you can season again and cook for 5-8 minutes until crispy.
