Copycat LongHorn Steakhouse Wing Recipe Tips

  • Pat wings dry before cooking – This removes excess moisture and ensures extra crispy skin.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan or air fryer – Arrange wings in a single layer for even cooking.
  • Toss in sauce at the end – Coat wings just before serving to keep them crispy.
  • Use a meat thermometer – Cook wings until the internal temperature reaches 165°F for safety.
  • Customize your seasoning – Add smoked paprika, cayenne, or garlic powder to match your preferred flavor.
  • Make ahead and reheat – Wings can be cooked in advance and warmed in the oven or air fryer.
  • Serve with sides and dipping sauces – Ranch, blue cheese, celery, and carrots complement the wings perfectly.

Storing, Freezing & Reheating Instructions

  • Storing: Store cooked wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
  • Freezing: Place cooled wings in a freezer-safe container or bag for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
  • Reheating: Reheat wings in a preheated oven at 375°F for 10–15 minutes or in the air fryer for 5–8 minutes. This helps them stay crispy while warming evenly.
