Serve the wings immediately for the best texture. Pair them with sides like fries or a salad for a complete meal.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 5-7 minutes to restore crispiness.
To freeze uncooked wings, season them and freeze in a single layer on a baking sheet. Transfer to a freezer bag once solid. Cook directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
Variants:
Spicy Buffalo Wings: Toss the wings in buffalo sauce after cooking for a classic, spicy flavor.
Sweet and Tangy BBQ Wings: Coat the wings in your favorite barbecue sauce for a sweet and savory twist.
Lemon Pepper Wings: Sprinkle cooked wings with lemon pepper seasoning and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for a zesty kick.
FAQ:
Q: Can I cook frozen chicken wings in the air fryer?
A: Yes! Simply add 5-7 minutes to the cooking time. Be sure to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) before serving.
Q: How do I make my wings extra crispy?
A: Dry the wings thoroughly before seasoning, and avoid overcrowding the basket. For even more crispiness, add a teaspoon of baking powder to the seasoning mix.
Q: Can I use boneless wings instead?
A: Absolutely! Boneless wings cook faster—about 12-15 minutes at 400°F (200°C). Keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking.
