Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken wings fresh or frozen
- ¾ cup ketchup
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar or red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoon light brown sugar
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 ½ teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer at 380°F (190°C). for at least 10 minutes or as recommended in the manual. Place fresh or frozen chicken wings in the basket and insert the basket into the air fryer.
- Cook the wings for 20 minutes if fresh or for 24-25 minutes if frozen, shaking the basket every 10 minutes, so they don’t stick together and cook evenly.
- When the time comes to an end, shake the basket, increase the temperature to 400°F (200°C), and cook them for 6 more minutes or until the skin is golden brown. For crispy wings, make sure to lay their tops skin side down in one single layer. If you prefer them tender like me, no need to cook them in one single layer. Depending on the size of your air fryer you may have to crisp them up in batches.
- Meanwhile, prepare your bbq sauce by mixing together ketchup, apple cider vinegar, light brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and paprika until homogeneous.
- Toss the wings with the bbq sauce or others of your choice such as buffalo or lemon pepper sauce.

- Asking yourself how to store these air fryer chicken wings? You can keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Freeze cooked wings (without sauce) for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight!
- To reheat cooked fresh or frozen chicken wings in air fryer, preheat air fryer at 350°F (180° C) and heat the wings for 5 minutes, then increase the temp to 400°F (205° C) and heat for 3-5 minutes more or until hot.
