My air fryer crispy chicken wing recipe and method reviewed
Everybody in our family likes crispy chicken wings. I have never quite mastered crispy wings until I made them in our Ninja Foodi Grill and Air Fryer. So, if you like your chicken wings crispy this is the way to do it.
We had a crowd the day we made these so I used a 5-pound bag of chicken wings. Normally I would do about 2-pounds.
How I prepared the chicken wings:
one gallon zip lock bags
2 tablespoons olive oil per bag
3 to 4 tablespoons baking powder per bag
Seasoning:
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon brown sugar
All of the above ingredients are per one bag of 15 or 20 wings. The first thing I did was, rinse the wings with cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
You can really use any already made chicken seasoning, just add a generous amount to each bag. Place the wings in a zip lock bag, add all the ingredients and mix well. Set the bags in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
I sprayed the air fry pan with non-stick cooking spray. Then, I set the air fry temperature to 390 degrees and the timer for 22 minutes. When the air fryer was preheated I added the wings, fitting about 12 to 15 wings in the pan. After 11 minutes I turned the wings over for the remaining 11 minutes.
Preparing the hot sauce:
1 stick of butter (melted)
1-1/2 cup Frank's Hot Wing Sauce
Mix this together well in a large bowl. If you really like your wings hot add a dash of cayenne pepper. For me, the hot wing sauce is hot enough. Toss the crispy wings in the sauce and enjoy.
These crispy wings are perfect anytime for a snack or party. Your family and friends will love these air fryer wings.

Sounds like a wonderful and easy meal to prepare! The men in my life love chicken wings. I tried preparing some in the oven. They were okay, but not as "crispy" as we would have liked. Each time you share one of your air fryer recipes, I am more tempted to buy an air fryer.
ReplyDeleteCynthia, If you haven't tried using baking powder, give it a try. The baking powder helps take moisture out of the skin. Season your wings and use baking powder in a zip lock bag. Then, bake in your oven. time to buy an air fryer!! You won't be sorry!!
