Crispy Air Fryer Chicken Wings
Description
Crispy Air Fryer Chicken Wings start with preparing split chicken wings by patting them dry and coating with olive oil, salt, and pepper. The air fryer heats to 400°F, cooking the wings in a single layer to allow hot air circulation and a crispy surface without extra oil.
The wings are air fried for approximately 20 to 22 minutes, flipped after half the time to crisp evenly. This method results in golden, crunchy skin while retaining juicy meat inside. The simple seasoning highlights the chicken flavor, making the wings versatile for customizing with sauces or dry seasonings post-cooking.
These wings are suitable as a snack, appetizer, or part of a meal. They can be tossed after cooking with buffalo, honey garlic, or other preferred sauces. Using melted butter mixed with dry seasonings helps seasonings adhere well.
Patting the wings dry is crucial to avoid steaming and achieve crispiness. Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking. For easy cleanup, use foil-lined pans or trays to catch drippings if your air fryer has racks.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds chicken wings split and tips removed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or vegetable oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.

- Bake wings 20-22 minutes until skin is crisp, flipping the wings after 10 minutes.

Notes
- Pat wings dry before cooking to prevent steaming and promote crisp skin.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer; cook in batches if necessary for even crisping.
