- Seasonings of choice
- Sauce of choice
Turn your air fryer to 400 degrees F (200°C) and let it heat up for about 3-5 minutes. A preheated air fryer ensures the wings cook evenly and get that delicious crispy exterior.
While the air fryer is heating up, take your frozen wings and toss them with your chosen seasonings. You don’t need oil due to the air fryer's cooking method, but a little can help the seasonings stick if you prefer.
Place the wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Make sure they’re not overcrowded to allow the air to circulate freely around the wings, ensuring even cooking and crispiness.
Cook the frozen wings for about 25-30 minutes. If they are precooked and frozen air fry them for 15-20 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, open the air fryer and flip the wings to ensure they get crispy on all sides.
Your wings should be golden brown and crispy when done. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C) if you want to be extra sure they’re cooked through.
Once cooked, toss the wings in your favorite sauce. Do this in a bowl to ensure they’re evenly coated and deliciously messy.
Serve your crispy wings straight from the air fryer with some celery sticks, carrot sticks, and your favorite dipping sauce on the side.
