typically if you go to a restaurant to get wings, they are deep-fried, the twist on them is that air-fried wings are actually healthier for you, since they aren’t sitting in a vat of oil, while they cook.

There are some basic tips for making chicken wings in your air fryer, and I hope they help you with your air-fried wings.

• While frozen wings will work in the air fryer, thawed wings taste better. If you are short of time, or are like me and always forget to take the meat out of the freezer, use a thaw board. (I have had this since, I got married, so it totally works and lasts)
• Dry the wings completely, before you season them. This will make the season stick on better, just use a paper towel and blot the chicken wings.
• Season your wings, before you add any marinade to them, this will raise the flavor level of the wings.
• Shake the basket, many times throughout the cooking process, this way the wings will cook more evenly.
• I cook my wings at a lower temperature and then in the last 5 minutes, I increase the temperature, which gives it a crunchier texture.
• If you are using frozen wings, just add 5 minutes to the cooking time.

Start by placing your chicken wing (whole) on a cutting board.

Then find the bone in the middle it will make a clean cut.

After you make your cuts, you make three in total.

I sorted the wings, into those for the air fryer.

These will go into the Instant Pot Chicken Broth.

Add all of the ingredients for the sauce. This sauce includes oil, lemon juice, dijon mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper.

Adjust it for your taste buds!

Mix well, I use my hands, they are the best cook’s tool.

Place the wings into the air fryer basket, careful not to crowd.

Single layer, please.
