Preheat the Air Fryer: Turn on your Instant Vortex Air Fryer and preheat it to 400°F (205°C). This step ensures a hot and ready environment for even cooking.

Prepare the Wings: If you're using oil, lightly spray or brush the frozen chicken wings with it. This is optional as the wings will release their own fat during cooking.

Season the Wings: Season the wings with a pinch of salt and black pepper. You can add other seasonings at this stage if you prefer your wings to be flavored during cooking.

Arrange the Wings: Place the frozen wings in the air fryer basket. Be sure not to overcrowd the basket to allow for proper air circulation, which is key to getting them crispy. You might need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.

Cook the Wings: Air fry the wings for about 25-30 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, open the air fryer and flip the wings or shake the basket to ensure they cook evenly on all sides.

Check for Doneness: The wings are done when they are crispy on the outside and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). If they aren’t as crispy as you’d like, you can cook them for a few more minutes.

Add Sauce or Seasoning (Optional): Once cooked, you can toss the wings in your favorite sauce or sprinkle them with additional seasoning. Do this in a bowl to ensure they're evenly coated.

Serve: Serve your crispy air fryer chicken wings hot. They're great on their own or with your favorite dipping sauces, celery sticks, or carrot sticks.
