Crispy Air-Fried Chicken Wings Recipe

4.6 from 51 reviews

Crispy and flavorful Air-Fried Chicken Wings, seasoned simply with salt and pepper and cooked to perfection in an air fryer for a healthier alternative to traditional fried wings. Perfect as a snack or appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Wings

  • 2 pounds chicken wings

Seasoning

  • 1 tablespoon oil (vegetable or olive oil)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Season the Wings: In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with the oil, salt, and black pepper until they are evenly coated. This will help the wings crisp up nicely in the air fryer.
  2. Air-Fry the Wings: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes. Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overcrowded. Cook for 20-25 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through the cooking time to ensure they become evenly crispy and golden brown.
  3. Serve Hot: Remove the wings from the air fryer once they are crispy and cooked through. Serve immediately while hot and crispy for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • You can add additional seasonings like garlic powder, paprika, or cayenne pepper for more flavor variation.
  • For extra crispiness, pat the wings dry before seasoning to remove excess moisture.
  • Cooking time may vary slightly depending on the air fryer model and wing size.
  • Ensure wings reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
