TIPS AND TRICKS FOR MAKING AIR FRYER CHICKEN WINGS:

This recipe will work with frozen chicken wings, but you will need to increase the cooking time, by a few minutes.
To get the dry rub to adhere, dry your chicken wings off with a paper towel.
Do not crowd your air fryer basket otherise they will not cook up properly.
Adjust the rub to your own taste buds.

How Many Wings Can I Cook at Once?

The number of chicken wings that you can cook in your air fryer at one time will depend on the air fryer that you own.

Remember not to crowd the basket. Otherwise, they will not cook up correctly. Leave plenty of space around the wings.

What About Buffalo Wings?

You can use this recipe and add a simple buffalo sauce to the cooked wings. It will add a lot of flavor to the dish.

You can always coat the wings with buffalo sauce and then place them back into the air fryer.

What to Serve with Chicken Wings?

This is a great recipe, and it really needs nothing with it. You can serve a plate of chicken wings, and it makes a great lunch, snack, or dinner.

But you can also serve it as part of the meal. I love serving mine with a great garden salad, some potato salad, or macaroni salad.

Other Uses for the Dry Rub?

I actually use this dry rub for almost all of my proteins, including pork chops, pork tenderloin, and even a chicken breast.

It is a great and easy seasoning mix that you can usually make directly from your spice rack and pantry.

How Long Does Chicken Rub Last?

This rub will last for about 2 to 3 months. Just keep it in a sealed, airtight container in a dark place for best results.

Can You Air Fry Frozen Chicken Wings with Dry Rub?

Yes, I often use frozen chicken wings in this recipe because, truthfully, frozen wings are easy to keep on hand for a quick meal.

If you want to use frozen wings, the only difference will be the cooking time, which will need to be increased by about 5 to 8 minutes.

Remember to check your chicken wings with a meat thermometer before removing them from the air fryer. The internal temperature should be 165 degrees F.
