How To Make Air Fryer Red-Pepper Jelly Wings

Prepping chicken wings for air frying with seasoning and red pepper jelly marinade.

Step One: In a large bowl, add the baking powder and salt. Add the chicken wings, so they are fully covered with baking powder and salt. As you coat them, place them on the air fryer tray or in the air fryer basket.

Placing seasoned chicken wings into the air fryer basket in a single layer.

Step Two: Then generously spray olive oil (or another cooking spray) on them. Set the temperature to 380 degrees F, air fryer setting, set cook time for 15 minutes. Then flip the wings, spray with olive oil, and air fry for another 10-15 minutes, until they are cooked through; remember to check with a meat thermometer.

The internal temperature of chicken wings should be 165 degrees F.

Brushing air-fried wings with additional red pepper jelly for a glossy coating.

Step Three: Heat the red-pepper jelly in the microwave (or small saucepan) transfer it to a large bowl. Then dip the chicken wings into the jelly.

Serving crispy red pepper jelly wings on a plate, ready to enjoy.

Air Fryer Red-Pepper Jelly Wings Recipe Tips

  • Single Layer Cooking – Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook the wings in batches if necessary to get them crispy.
  • Flip the Wings – Halfway through cooking, flip the wings to ensure they cook evenly and get crispy on all sides.
  • Customize Heat Level – Adjust the spiciness by adding more or less red pepper jelly or mixing in some hot sauce.
  • Serve Fresh – For the best flavor and texture, serve the wings immediately after tossing them in the jelly.
