Air fryer chicken wings are a quick and easy way to make crispy, juicy chicken wings at home. To make them, you will need chicken wings and a variety of seasonings or sauces to coat them in.
To prepare the chicken wings, you can toss them in a mixture of your choice of seasonings or sauces and then place them in the air fryer basket. Cook the wings according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually at a high temperature for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked through and crispy.
Air frying the chicken wings allows you to achieve a crispy exterior without using a large amount of oil, as you would with traditional deep frying. This makes them a healthier alternative to fried chicken wings.
Overall, air fryer chicken wings are a delicious and convenient way to make a classic snack or appetizer at home.
