If you prefer to use fresh chicken wings, follow the instructions listed in this air fryer recipe I put together!
How To Make Frozen Chicken Wings In the Air Fryer
Before you start cooking the chicken wings, make sure you spray the air fryer basket with a non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
After the prep is done, place the frozen chicken wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Cook the wings in the air fryer at 390F for 5 minutes.
Take out the air fryer basket and drain the liquids and oils from the bottom of the basket.
This is the perfect time to add your preferred seasoning to the wings. Make sure to season both sides!
Place the basket with the chicken wings back into the air fryer and cook at 390F for another 20 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through the cooking time.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
Ideas For Chicken Wing Seasoning and Dipping Sauces
When it comes to seasoning the chicken wings, there are so many seasoning combos you can try. These are my personal favorites:
- Garlic Parmesan
- Lemon Pepper
- Spicy Cajun
I am also a BIG fan of dipping sauces. So much so, I actually make my own and have them on hand at all times to not only eat with the wings but also with chicken tenders or chicken legs.
Here are a few wing sauces to choose from:
What To Serve With Air Fried Chicken Wings
I don’t know about you but I can’t eat chicken wings without my celery and carrot sticks! My family is always torn between blue cheese or ranch dressing to dip the veggies so I try to always have them both on hand.
As far as sides go, what’s a plate of crispy chicken wings without air-fried french fries? You can also serve them with sweet potato fries if you don’t like to eat white potatoes.
