Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Paper Towels
  • Tongs
  • Large Bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lb chicken wings thawed if frozen
  • salt to taste
  • sauce of choice for tossing

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  • Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels, then season them evenly with salt.
  • Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket with space between pieces; work in batches if needed.
  • Cook at 350°F for 12 minutes, then flip the wings and cook for another 12 minutes.
  • Increase the air fryer temperature to 400°F (205°C) and cook for an additional 3–5 minutes, until the wings are golden and crispy.
  • Transfer the wings to a large bowl, toss with your chosen sauce, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Do not overcrowd the basket to ensure even crisping.
  • Patting wings dry helps them get crispier.
  • Cooking times may vary by air fryer model.
