Cook at 400 degrees for 20 minutes, flipping wings with tongs halfway through cooking time.

Remove from air fryer basket and serve!

Cooking Tips

• Separate chicken wings on plate before seasoning to make sure they are evenly seasoned and cooked
• Lay out wings in one layer in air fryer. If necessary, you can stand some wings up again the side of the air fryer basket
• Brushing butter on wings is optional. This makes them more brown and flavorful. You can also use oil for this step.

What To Do If the Chicken Wings Don’t Fit in the Air Fryer Basket?

If the wings don’t fit in a single layer laying down in the air fryer basket, set some upright against the sides of the basket. It’s very important that the wings are not on top of each other during air fryer cooking.

What Are The Two Types of Chicken Wings?

“Drums”- resemble small chicken legs, with one long bone running through the center. “Flats”- are flat in shape and contain two small bones. Many people prefer to eat “flat” wings as their surface area contains more crispy skin, seasoning, and sauce.
