These Air Fryer Chicken Wings cook up crispy on the outside, but are juicy in every bite. The best part is there is no need to deep fry them!
Air Fryer chicken wings will make your go-to dish for large gatherings. They are effortless to prepare. You can save your oven for other dishes because the air fryer will do all the work for you.
Tips for Extra Crispy Air Fryer Chicken Wings
- Spray air fryer basket with cooking oil to prevent chicken wings from sticking .
- Begin cooking chicken wings at lower temperature at first and then turn up the heat at the end to achieve the crispy texture.
- You can toss crispy chicken wings into your favorite sauce.
- Reheat leftover chicken wings in a air fryer.
How Long to Cook Chicken Wings
For fresh chicken wings it takes 25-35 minutes to reach crispy in a air fryer.
Frozen chicken wings take 30-45 minutes to air fry. Thaw chicken wings for about 10 minutes at 350°F, then turn up the heat to 380°F and continue air frying.
How Many Wings Can you Cook in an Air Fryer?
Depending on the size of your basket, you will be able to cook a varying amount of chicken wings at a time. Mine fits about 10 chicken wings laying flat. The key here is not stacking your wings! If you stack your wings, you will prevent them from crisping up evenly. A general rule of thumb is to cover the bottom of your basket in one, single layer.
Can you Stack Wings in an Air Fryer?
Like I said above, it is best to not stack wings in an air fryer. But, if you must, toss them every 5 minutes to assist in more even cooking.
How to Reheat Chicken Wings in an Air Fryer?
Reheat cooked chicken wings in an air fryer at 360°F for 4 minutes. Turn the heat to 400°F and cook for 5 more minutes. This will bring the chicken to its original crispy state.

I recently purchasedGourmia Digital Air Fryer, so far I really like it.
My new stove has an air fryer in the oven. Do I use a cookie sheet to spread out things in single rows? Is there any difference in the oven as there would be in an air fryer? Please let me know if I should do anything different in your recipe. Thank you
Our oven has air fryer option. We bought the air fryer basket to go with it. We followed the recipe, except cooked 10 min at 400 F°. It turned out great. Even my picky husband loved it. However, there are downsides using oven air fryer: 1. Lots of smoke. Make sure you have plenty air flow. 2. The oven gets greasy afterwards. We put a cooking sheet covered with foil to catch the drippings. That helped a lot. Other then that, those are some of the best chicken wings according to my husband:)
Wen, thank you for sharing your tips. I used a dishwasher for ours, it makes my life so much easier. 🙂
The chicken always comes out extra crispy when you use an air fryer. I don't own an oven with an air fryer so I can't tell you if you would achieve the same results.
PERFECTION! This was the first thing I cooked in the Insigna Airfryer I received for Christmas and all I can say is WOW! Where has the Airfryer been all my life??? My husband and I enjoyed these wings more than any we have ever ordered in a restaurant.I promise that you will not be disappointed in an Airfryer when you use this recipe.
oh, Carolyn, I cant agree with you more! I m so glad you got your hands on an air fryer, definitely life-changing for me!
Just got an air fryer For Christmas as a gift I will be using it tomorrow for sure to make some wings I am so excited can’t wait I am definitely using this recipe I’m going to do a couple different versions I’m going to do buffalo ranch and lemon pepper will definitely update you on the outcome thank you
Gabe, I got myself one last year and it was the most amazing purchase ever. I love using it! Keep me posted how you like it!
How can I get a recipe book for my Gourmia Air Fryer?
I have no idea about their recipe book. I think you should reach out to Gourmia Air Fryer. 🙂
Do you coat them in oil or just spray the basket?
Just spray the basket so they don't stick to the basket.
Tried my air fryer 360 for fist time today...loved it!! I made lemon pepper wings. I did not preheat so cooked a little longer than recipe stated. They were absolutely delicious and perfect crispness. Can’t wait to try other things.
I purchased the NuWave for hubby for Christmas because I do not have time to cook. Surpribgky to both he and myself I have cooked more since Christmas up to today’s date of January 7 than I Cooke total for the entire year of 2019, salmon-Brussels sprouts-cauliflowers-wings-chicken breast’s-pork chops/whole sweet potatoes-whole baked Idaho’s-sweet potato fries-Idaho French fries(all potatoes from scratch.), carrots. I have not breaded or battered anything. Chicken wings to die for. I’ll never order wings out again. All potatoes were perfect..... if in a rush. Bake whole potatoes the day before.. meats cook rapidly so you’ll save a lot of time. Hmm. I might be back in the kitchen more frequently. Well I already have. It’s been fun experimenting.
Nancy, your comment is so relatable but it was my 10-year-old taking over the kitchen. He got so interested in cooking because Airfryer is so awesome. I am glad you got him a gift, but technically I want to say "yourself a gift" a gift of resting! I am so excited for you to try some of our recipes here on the blog. I love the person that came up an in Air Fryer!
Kathy, I am so happy to hear. Yes, the time may also need to be adjusted due to the size of the basket and wings. Sounds like you got it all under control! I hope you try some other air fryer recipes on my website. We got our Airfryer early 2019 and I am obsessed with it.
What air fryer you using?
Currently, I am using Gourmia Digital Air Fryer 5 QT. I am considering to upgrade it to something fancier. 🙂
These chicken wings look insane! Can't believe how crispy they turn out in an air fryer.
Yes, first time I tried it, I couldn't believe that there was no oil added to them.
All of your posts for the air fryer are giving me serious inspiration to purchase one. My boys (aka teenages) would devour these wings. Thanks so much for the inspo.
Yes, I was thinking how awesome it would be for my kids as they grow up older. My 9 year already made a few things in it. Its so useful!
I've been going back and forth about purchasing an air fryer, now I think I might just have to get one! These air fryer chicken wings look so crispy and flavorful!
I think you will love it. Now I have two of them and its the best thing ever!
I just recently bought an air fryer and am in love. I need to try this chicken wing recipe as soon as possible. Such comfort food without the extra calories!
