Air Fryer Chicken Wings are the easiest way to get crispy, golden wings without heating up the oven or dealing with hot oil. The air fryer does all the work, giving you juicy wings with crackly skin in a fraction of the time. Whether you’re making them for dinner or game day snacking, this is a simple, no-fuss way to get great results every time.

The air fryer is a great tool that will allow you to easily cook things like chicken wings without creating all the mess and having to turn on the oven.

If you’re making wings for a party, there’s no easier way to do it. You can stack up to 2 pounds of chicken wings in your air fryer (depending on its size) and it just takes a couple of flips in between cooking, to make sure each piece gets cooked through. The result is a crispy, perfectly cooked and tender chicken wing.

Helpful Tips

Pat the wings dry first so the skin crisps up instead of steaming in the air fryer. This step makes a big difference in texture.
Don’t overcrowd the basket and cook in batches if needed so the hot air can circulate and crisp the wings evenly.
Flip or shake halfway through cooking to make sure both sides get golden and crispy.
