Air Fryer Naked Chicken Wings

Air Fryer Naked Chicken Wings are easy. There’s no breading or sauce on these wings. They are completely air-fried and lightly seasoned. Easy peasy.

So simple to make, but yet so delicious. I seasoned them with the spice mixture, as my favorite air fryer naked chicken tenders. The only difference today is that I made them a bit crispy.

If you have not made air fryer chicken wings, they are amazing. They are going to be one of your favorite dishes you make in your air fryer. They are the perfect appetizer for anything.

How to Make Air Fryer Naked Chicken Wings

Start with your wings already cut. Add the wings to a large mixing bowl. Add the olive oil and all of the ingredients from the seasoning rub. Mix well, coating all of the wings.

Preheat the air fryer to 360 degrees F, air fryer setting. If you do not have a preheat setting, turn the air fryer on for 5 to 6 minutes at 360 degrees F, air fryer setting.

Then add your wings, being careful not to crowd the basket. Air Fry for 18 to 20 minutes, use a pair of tongs to flip the chicken wings halfway.

Tips For Making The Best Air Fryer Chicken Wings

When You Buy Them: There are actually three ways that you can purchase chicken wings. All of them will work for this recipe.

1. Frozen
2. Whole Chicken Wing, which means you have to cut them, not a big deal. It is straightforward.
3. Already cut

Cooking The Wings:

One of the most important things to remember when you air fry wings or any food is not crowding the air fryer basket. The air frying process works because the heat travels around the food cooking it. If you limit the amount of airflow around the food, the food will not cook properly. So, always space your food, and DO NOT CROWD the basket.

Can You Use Pam Nonstick Spray in The Air Fryer?

As I have stated many times before, if you use it, it will start to peel your basket’s coating.

It’s best to invest in a spray bottle; you can fill it with any high heat oil; some of my favorites are EVO, Olive Oil, Avacado Oil, or even Coconut Oil.

If you want to thaw your wings before you air fry them up, you can easily do that. Thaw them overnight in the refrigerator for best results.

Then place the wings into the air fryer basket, and cook until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F by using a meat thermometer.

How To Cook Frozen Chicken Wings In Air Fryer

If you want to cook a frozen batch of chicken wings in the Air Fryer, that is really easy. I would recommend using the temperature of 360 degrees F, air fryer setting, and cook for about 25 minutes.

Then if you want great crisp of the chicken wings, increase the temperature to 400 degrees F, air fryer setting for another 3 to 5 minutes. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
