Crispy and tender air-fried chicken wings seasoned to perfection and ready in under 45 minutes. This recipe delivers juicy meat with crispy skin using an air fryer, making it a healthier alternative to traditional frying without compromising on flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Wings

  • 1 kg chicken wings
  • 1 tbsp sunflower oil or olive oil

Seasoning

  • Salt and pepper, or ½-1 tsp of any of the following: smoky BBQ seasoning, ras-el-hanout, garlic granules, celery salt, or garam masala

Dipping Sauce (Optional)

  • Dipping sauce of your choice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken Wings: Separate each chicken wing into two parts at the joint, and remove the wing tips if desired using sharp kitchen scissors. This helps in even cooking and makes the wings easier to eat.
  2. Season the Wings: Toss the separated chicken wings in 1 tablespoon of sunflower or olive oil to coat them evenly. Sprinkle your chosen seasoning (salt and pepper or one of the suggested spice blends) over the wings and mix well to ensure every piece is nicely seasoned.
  3. Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the wings into the air fryer basket. If your air fryer has a paddle, use that to toss and cook the wings evenly; otherwise, arrange them in a single layer on the tray to allow air circulation for crisping.
  4. Air Fry: Set the air fryer to cook for 35 minutes. Halfway through, shake or turn the wings for even cooking.
  5. Check and Finish Cooking: After 35 minutes, check if the wings are tender and almost falling off the bone. The skin should be bubbling and crisped. If not fully cooked, continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes.
  6. Serve Immediately: Remove the wings promptly from the air fryer to prevent steam from softening the crisp skin. Discard any excess fat collected at the bottom of the fryer. Serve the wings hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Removing the wing tips is optional but recommended for easier eating.
  • You can experiment with different seasoning blends to suit your taste preferences.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer to ensure the wings crisp properly.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the crispiness of the skin.
  • For extra crispy skin, pat the wings dry before seasoning and air frying.
