Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 390°F (200°C).
  • Arrange 1 pound frozen chicken wings (flats and drumettes) in a single layer in the air fryer basket. If they do not fit in a single layer, cook in batches.
  • Air fry at 390°F (200°C) for 15 minutes.
  • Carefully remove the basket. If there is any liquid collected in the bottom of the basket or drawer, discard it and wipe dry with a paper towel (use oven mitts and be cautious of hot liquid).
  • Flip each wing with tongs, return the basket to the air fryer, and cook for 10 more minutes at 390°F (200°C).
  • Lightly spray the wings with oil, then cook for an additional 5 minutes at 390°F (200°C) to crisp the skin.
  • Remove the wings and either coat them in your favorite wing sauce or sprinkle with your preferred seasonings, then serve.

Notes

Don’t skip the cooking spray. Spraying the wings with cooking spray and allowing them that additional 5 minutes cooking time is what crisps up your wings.
Add sauce in the last 5 minutes. If you like your sauce caramelized on your wings, you can add the sauce in the last 5 minutes of cooking.
Coat in seasonings before cooking. If you aren’t using a sauce, you can coat your chicken in your favorite seasonings for a flavorfully crisp wing.
