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. My kids really love them during the games, whether football, basketball, baseball, or hockey.

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 really any food is not to crowd 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.
