Air Fryer Frozen Chicken Wings
Description
This recipe guides how to cook frozen chicken wings in an air fryer by preheating to 400°F and starting with a 6-minute initial cook to begin crisping. After this, the wings are separated if stuck together and coated with a chicken rub and freshly ground black pepper. They continue cooking for 12-15 minutes, flipped halfway to ensure even crisping. Wings are done when golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
The seasoning choice allows for customization via chicken rubs or seasoning blends tailored to taste and sodium preference. The air fryer method delivers a crispy texture without deep frying, and cooking straight from frozen saves time and planning.
Optional garnishes like carrot sticks and celery are common accompaniments for wings and can add freshness and crunch to the dish.
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken wings drumettes and flats, frozen
- chicken rub to taste, low-sodium or seasoning blend
- black pepper to taste, freshly ground
- carrot optional garnish
- celery stick optional garnish
Instructions
- Skip the thaw! Ensure your air fryer is ready to go, and preheat it to 400°F.
- Place the frozen chicken wings in the air fryer basket, making sure not to overcrowd for even cooking. Air fry for 6 minutes at 400°F to start the crisping process.
- After the initial cook time, open the basket and gently break apart any wings that are sticking together. Sprinkle your wings with a healthy dose of your chosen chicken rub and a black pepper.
- Continue air frying the seasoned wings for another 12-15 minutes at 400°F. Halfway through, open the basket and flip the wings. They're done when they turn golden brown (and an internal temperature of 165°F).
