- Place your chicken wings in a deep bowl or baking dish. You can add some lemon juice and vinegar to wash it up. Then remove, rinse and pat dry with some paper towel. When it’s nice and dry, it tends to lock in the seasoning so much better. Also, if you’re using frozen chicken wings, just set them in the air fryer for 10 minutes at 350°F. This will thaw the chicken and afterward, move on with the next step of seasoning.
- To really get out the moisture, it’s important to add some vegetable/olive oil and add your seasonings to your chicken wings too for best results. Also, add the baking powder or flour (whichever you’re using) to a bowl and mix thoroughly adding chicken wings to your flour mix and coat well. Try to shake off the excess layers of flour with a tong and place it on a rack (air fryer basket). Plus, if you’ve got a non-stick cooking spray, you can apply it to the air fryer basket to avoid getting seasoned chicken stains on it.
- Place the air fryer basket inside the air fryer and set it at 380°F to cook for 15 minutes or less. Halfway through your cook, remember to check your chicken wings, occasionally spraying some cooking oil on the flour spots and flipping them over with tongs. Cook for an extra 5 minutes at 400°F.
- Remember, the air fryer shouldn’t be overcrowded as it doesn’t take too many chicken wings, so it’s necessary to cook in smaller batches repeating the above steps with each fry. Remove and serve on a clean flat plate as a side dish with some potatoes, mozzarella/carrot sticks, or some mini cheese puffs.
