Air Fryer Chicken Wings
Crispy and delicious chicken wings cooked in an air fryer, perfect for family gatherings and easy weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings (Look for fresh wings that are plump. Frozen is fine too, but make sure to thaw them completely.)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder (This secret ingredient is key to achieving crispy skin. Don’t skip it; it works wonders.)
- 1 teaspoon salt (Enhances flavor; adjust to taste.)
- 1 teaspoon black pepper (Adds heat; feel free to adjust.)
- to taste your favorite wing sauce (Choose a sauce your family loves.)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings with baking powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until the wings are well coated.
Cooking
- Place the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- Cook for 25-30 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- Once cooked, toss the wings in your favorite sauce or serve as is, lightly seasoned.
Notes
Serving chicken wings family-style is a great idea. Set up a fun wing bar with various sauces. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for best results. Use tongs for easy handling and consider marinating wings before cooking for extra flavor.
