Crispy Air Fryer Chicken Wings with a Secret Ingredient

by

Notes

  • Thaw chicken wings prior to cooking, if frozen. You can air fry frozen chicken wings, but they will take longer and won’t get as crispy.
  • Patting the chicken dry with a paper towel will get rid of any excess moisture. Moisture is the enemy of crispy chicken wings!
  • Don’t overcrowd your air fryer basket or the chicken wings will steam instead of crisping up nicely. Depending on the capacity of your air fryer, you might want to work in batches.
  • If you don’t want to spray the chicken wings with cooking spray, you can toss with 1 tablespoon vegetable (or olive) oil instead.
  • Leftovers: Cooked wings will keep in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • Reheating: Reheat the wings in the air fryer, at 360ºF, for 5 minutes, or in the oven, at 350ºF, for 15-20 minutes. An instant read thermometer should read 165ºF degrees when inserted in a meaty wing.
