Frequently Asked Questions
What are the parts of a chicken wing?
- Tip: This 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.
- 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.
- Wingettes/Flats: It is shaped like a flat, hence the name. It has a bit of meat, in between two bones.
How long does this honey garlic wings air fryer recipe take?
The total time for 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.
Using frozen wings instead of fresh makes really tasty honey garlic chicken wings too.
How many wings per person?
If you are making this honey garlic wing recipe as a main dish, you should plan on 6-8 wings per person.
For an appetizer, most people will eat 1-3 honey garlic chicken wings.
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 — no matter what you cook in the air fryer — is that the air fryer works by circulating 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 purchase 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.
This honey garlic wings air fryer recipe is always best when served with extra sauce. If you don’t have any leftover sauce, it’s okay, but they may not be as good the 2nd day.
Should I thaw chicken wings before air frying?
There is no reason to defrost wings. Simply add some time to the air frying cooking time.
Defrosting will cause the wings to become soggy and not taste as great.
