AIR FRYER CHICKEN WINGS

How to make PERFECT Air Fryer Chicken Wings. Crispy outside, juicy and tender inside, with easy clean up. The best way to cook chicken wings!

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Appetizer

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 pounds chicken wings
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup hot sauce (Frank's RedHot is what I use)
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 tablespoon white vinegar
Nonstick cooking spray
Blue cheese sauce
Celery sticks
Chopped fresh chives (optional for color)

Steps:

  • Coat the basket of a 3 quart or larger air fryer with nonstick spray.
  • Trim off the wing tips (you should be able to feel the joint soft spot). It should separate fairly easily, but if not, put the blade in place, then carefully but firmly hit the top of your knife to apply extra pressure. Discard. Next, split the drumette side of each wing from the flat side at the joint: slice down through the skin feeling for the "soft spot" and wiggle your knife as needed.
  • Pat the wings very dry. Sprinkle all over with salt.
  • Place the wings in the air fryer in a single layer, making sure they do not touch (if needed, stand up the drumettes along the side). Set the air fryer to 360 degrees F. Cook the wings for 12 minutes, then remove the basket and with tongs, flip the wings over. Return to the air fryer at 360 degrees for 12 additional minutes.
  • Slide out the basket, flip the wings once more, then return them to the air fryer. Increase the air fryer temperature to 390 degrees F. Cook the wings for 6 minutes, flipping once more halfway through. The skin should look nice and crisp (if your wings are on the larger side, they may need a few more minutes).
  • While the wings finish up, melt the butter in a large microwave safe bowl in the microwave or a saucepan on the stove. Stir in the hot sauce, garlic, and vinegar until smooth.
  • Transfer the wings to the bowl with the hot sauce mixture. Toss to throughly coat the wings. Transfer the wings to a serving plate. Sprinkle with chives as desired. Enjoy warm with blue cheese sauce and celery.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 teaspoon granulated garlic (or garlic powder)
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 bone-in, skin on chicken thighs (about 2 pounds)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Mix together the granulated garlic, onion powder, thyme, paprika, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Pat the chicken dry and add to a medium bowl. Add the olive oil and half of the spice mix, then toss to combine.
  • Add the flour to the remaining spice mix and stir to combine. Transfer the flour mixture to a large resealable bag. Add the seasoned thighs to the bag, seal well and toss until the chicken is fully coated in the flour.
  • Preheat a 3.5-quart air fryer to 400 degrees F. Add the chicken thighs to the air fryer basket, skin-side down and without touching. Cook, flipping skin-side up halfway through, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part (avoiding the bone) reads 165 degrees F, about 18 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken wings: Fresh, plump chicken wings are the best choice for air frying. Avoid wings that have been frozen or thawed multiple times.
  • Pat the chicken wings dry before seasoning them. This will help the seasoning stick to the wings and prevent them from becoming soggy.
  • Season the chicken wings generously. Use a combination of spices and herbs to create a flavorful crust. Some popular seasonings include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, chili powder, and cumin.
  • Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket. This will prevent the wings from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the chicken wings in a single layer. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from steaming.
  • Flip the chicken wings halfway through cooking. This will ensure that they cook evenly on both sides.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken wings. They are done cooking when they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the chicken wings immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
