The secret to super-crispy air-fried wing

After you sauce them, place them back into the air fryer to get the sauce all carmelized! Amazing!

Now, if you want them crispy, you can add some baking powder or potato starch and then air fry them. The coating will cause them to crisp up. They will taste exactly like the deep fryer, but without all of the oil and grease that comes with deep frying, AMAZING!

Some Common Questions Asked About Air Fryer Wings

First, chicken wings actually have three parts to a chicken wing,

1. Tip: Which is the top part of the wing that we in America do not eat. They are mostly comprised of bones. When you buy frozen or fresh wings, this part is removed for us most of the time.
2. Drumettes: It is just like they sound; they are the little drumstick on the side of the wing. It looks just like the larger drumette (leg) of the chicken. This part of the chicken wing has a lot of meat.
3. Wingettes/Flats: It is shaped like a flat, hence the name. It is a bit of meat, in between two bones.

How long should Wings be in the air fryer?

The total time of fresh chicken wings is between 26-30 minutes, depending on your air fryer.

The key is to make sure that you check your wings. Either toss the basket halfway or flip them (with tongs) so that both sides are cooked evenly.

How do you cook frozen wings in an air fryer?

Most frozen wings can be cooked at 400 degrees F for about 30-35 minutes, flipping them halfway.

Remember to check the frozen wings about halfway through the cooking process to make sure they are doing well. And remember not to crowd the basket, or they will not cook evenly.

How many wings per person?

The way to figure out how many wings to serve, if you have a large gather, the rule of thumb says that you should figure out that everyone will eat one pound or 8 wings.

But if you are serving this as an appetizer, they will actually easy least, especially if you have a buffet. But trust me, these wings are amazing, and you will even either eat more than you think or you will be craving for leftover wings, so make a LOT.

How many wings can fit in an air fryer?

This is dependent on which air fryer you own. You do not want to crowd the basket, or they will not cook properly.

The important thing to remember with all of the food that you do cook in the air fryer is that the air fryer works because it circulates the hot air around the food. If you crowd your air fryer basket, the food will not cook evenly or properly. This is one reason why I always recommend people purchasing a larger air fryer than they think they will need.

How long do you reheat chicken wings in an air fryer?

To reheat in the air fryer, air fry for about 4 to 5 minutes at 360 degrees F. Then turn the air fryer setting up to 400 degrees F for 4-5 minutes.

If you have any additional sauce, I always toss my reheated chicken wings with extra sauce. This way, you still get the same flavor.

Can you air fry frozen wings?

Yes, you can air fry frozen wings. I would toss them in either baking powder or potato starch before adding them to the air fryer basket.

The potato starch or baking soda will allow the outside of the frozen wings to get crispy. 

Should I thaw chicken wings before air frying?

There is no reason to defrost wings. Before you air fry them, add some time to the air frying cooking time.

When you defrost them, frozen wings do not do well in the air fryer, as they tend to become soggy during the air frying cooking process. So, leave them frozen; frozen wings do very well in the air fryer.
