Tips for Crispy Air Fryer Chicken Wings

Chicken Wings in the Air fryer
  • Make sure to coat the air fryer chicken wings evenly in oil and seasonings for best results.
  • Don’t overcrowd the air fryer – this will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Be sure to flip the air fryer chicken wings halfway through cooking time for even browning.
  • For a extra crispy coating, coat the wings in baking powder before cooking. This will help them achieve a nice golden brown color. You can also try using a different cooking oil, such as olive oil, for a more flavorful wing.
  • The best way to ensure that your chicken wings come out crispy every time is to make sure the air fryer is fully preheated before adding the wings – this will help them cook evenly.
