Air Fryer Chicken Wings
Ingredients
- 2 pounds (907 g) chicken wings
- Kosher salt , or sea salt, to taste
- black pepper , to taste
- garlic salt , optional
Equipment
Instructions
- If needed, pat dry the chicken wings. Season with salt, pepper, and optional garlic salt.
- Air Fry at 400°F for 30-35 minutes, flipping the wings over a couple times while cooking.
- If using a sauce, toss with a little sauce, then air fry for another 4 minutes (otherwise just cook the 30 minutes or until the chicken wings are golden).
- If using a sauce, toss with extra sauce after cooking or serve sauce on the side for dipping. Serve them warm and enjoy!
Notes
- No Oil Necessary. The wings have enough fat in the skin to crisp up nicely on their own.
- Shake several times for even cooking.
- Don’t overcrowd fryer basket.
- If using a sauce, it is added in just at the end, otherwise it often burns before the chicken wings are cooked.
- Recipes were cooked in 3-4 qt air fryers. If using a larger air fryer, the recipe might cook quicker so adjust cooking time.
- If cooking in multiple batches, the first batch will take longer to cook if Air Fryer is not already pre-heated.
- Remember to set a timer to shake/flip/toss the food as directed in recipe.
If your air fryer is preheated or if you are cooking multiple batches, you may need to reduce timing by a few minutes (unless preheating is called for in the recipe).
