Crispy Air Fryer Chicken Wings

🧂 Ingredients

• 1.6 lb chicken wings

  wingettes, drumettes, or both
• 1 Tbsp chicken seasoning
• 1 Tbsp flour

  all-purpose
• 1/4 cup buffalo sauce

  optional

Instructions

• 1 If you're starting with whole wings, you can first follow my process on how to
  separate wings [https://www.alphafoodie.com/how-to-cut-chicken-wings/] into
  wingettes, drumettes, and wing tips (the latter aren't needed for this recipe).
• 2 Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. This is important for achieving crispier
  results AND for the dry rub to adhere without oil.
• 3 Transfer the chicken to a large bowl/dish and season with the dry rub, using
  your hands to rub it into the chicken wings.
  
  Add the flour and toss well to evenly coat the wings with the flour.
• 4 Transfer the seasoned chicken wings to your air fryer basket, adding just enough
  for a single layer at the bottom of your basket, with airflow between each
  piece.
  
  It's a good idea to prepare the basket with a light oil spray to avoid sticking.
• 5 Air fry the chicken wings for about 15 minutes at 380ºF/195ºC. When ready, the
  air fryer wings should be tender and juicy in the middle, with a crisp outer
  skin.
• 6 If you plan to make buffalo hot wings (aka delicious spicy chicken wings), you
  can prepare homemade buffalo sauce while the wings air fry.
  
  Once cooked, brush or dunk the wings with the buffalo sauce, and enjoy.
  
  For more of a glaze, brush the buffalo sauce over the wings and broil them for
  1-2 minutes, then repeat with another layer of hot sauce.
• 7 Store: Once cooked, allow the wings to cool (no longer than 2 hours after
  baking), then store them in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
  
  Reheat: To reheat the wings in an air fryer, you can just pop them back in at
  380ºF/195ºC for 2-3 minutes.
  
  Freeze: Allow them to cool, then spread along a parchment-lined baking tray, not
  touching, to flash freeze until solid (2-3 hours). Once solid, transfer the
  wings to a Ziplock or freezer-safe container and store them for up to 6 months.
  
  To reheat frozen pre-cooked wings, I recommend air frying them at 400ºF/200ºC
  for between 16-20 minutes or until warmed through.
