👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Prep the Wings

2️⃣ Preheat the Air Fryer
- Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for 3-5 minutes.
3️⃣ Cook the Wings
- Place the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket (work in batches if needed).
- Cook for 12 minutes, then flip the wings and cook for another 10-12 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
4️⃣ Optional: Toss in Sauce
- If desired, toss the cooked wings in your favorite sauce (buffalo, BBQ, or honey garlic work great!).
5️⃣ Serve and Enjoy!
- Serve hot with celery sticks, carrot sticks, and your favorite dipping sauce (ranch or blue cheese, anyone?). 🥕🥒
💡 Tips for Perfect Air Fryer Wings
- Dry the Wings: Patting them dry ensures maximum crispiness.
- Don’t Overcrowd: Cook in a single layer for even cooking.
- Sauce Smart: If tossing in sauce, do it after cooking to keep the wings crispy.
- Extra Crispy: For ultra-crispy wings, sprinkle with a little baking powder before cooking.
🍽️ Why This Recipe Works
These Air Fryer Chicken Wings are a game-changer! The air fryer circulates hot air around the wings, creating a crispy exterior without the need for deep frying. The result? Juicy, flavorful wings that are healthier and just as delicious as the classic version.
📦 Storage & Reheating

- Reheat: Pop them back in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 3-5 minutes to regain their crispiness.
