AIR-FRYER CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Preheat air fryer to 300°. In a large bowl, combine the garlic powder, garlic salt, mustard, ginger, nutmeg, pepper, allspice, baking soda and cayenne., Cut chicken wings into three sections; discard wing tip sections. Add to bowl with spices and stir to coat. In batches, arrange wings in a single layer on tray in greased air-fryer basket. Cook 15 minutes. Increase temperature to 400°; cook until chicken juices run clear and they are golden brown, 20-25 minutes. Repeat with remaining wings. Serve hot with sauce if desired.

SPICY AIR FRYER WINGS

Steps:

• Rinse chicken and pat dry. Place in a large bowl, drizzle with oil, and toss to coat.
• Combine paprika, chili powder, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne in a small bowl. Sprinkle over chicken and toss until evenly covered.
• Preheat an air fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Arrange chicken in the basket of the preheated air fryer in a single layer, not touching. Cook until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 12 minutes, turning halfway through. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). For crispier wings, increase temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more.
• Let rest for a few minutes before serving.

AIR FRYER CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Coat the basket of a 3 quart or larger air fryer with nonstick spray.
• Trim off the wing tips (you should be able to feel the joint soft spot). It should separate fairly easily, but if not, put the blade in place, then carefully but firmly hit the top of your knife to apply extra pressure. Discard. Next, split the drumette side of each wing from the flat side at the joint: slice down through the skin feeling for the "soft spot" and wiggle your knife as needed.
• Pat the wings very dry. Sprinkle all over with salt.
• Place the wings in the air fryer in a single layer, making sure they do not touch (if needed, stand up the drumettes along the side). Set the air fryer to 360 degrees F. Cook the wings for 12 minutes, then remove the basket and with tongs, flip the wings over. Return to the air fryer at 360 degrees for 12 additional minutes.
• Slide out the basket, flip the wings once more, then return them to the air fryer. Increase the air fryer temperature to 390 degrees F. Cook the wings for 6 minutes, flipping once more halfway through. The skin should look nice and crisp (if your wings are on the larger side, they may need a few more minutes).
• While the wings finish up, melt the butter in a large microwave safe bowl in the microwave or a saucepan on the stove. Stir in the hot sauce, garlic, and vinegar until smooth.
• Transfer the wings to the bowl with the hot sauce mixture. Toss to throughly coat the wings. Transfer the wings to a serving plate. Sprinkle with chives as desired. Enjoy warm with blue cheese sauce and celery.

AIR FRYER CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Spray the basket of a 3.5-quart air fryer with cooking spray and set aside. Pat the chicken wings dry and sprinkle generously with salt. Place the wings in the fryer basket so they are not touching (if necessary to fit, line up the drumettes standing upright along the sides). Set the air fryer to 360 degrees F and cook for 12 minutes, then flip the wings with tongs and cook for 12 minutes more. Flip the wings again, increase the heat to 390 degrees F and cook until the outsides are extra-crispy, about 6 minutes more.
• Meanwhile, warm the butter in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave until melted, about 1 minute. Whisk in the hot sauce.
• Toss the wings with the butter mixture to coat in a large bowl and serve with dressing on the side.

• Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place chicken wings in a large bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons Old Bay® seasoning and black pepper. Add cornstarch and toss wings until fully coated. Shake each wing and place in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching; cook in batches if necessary.
• Fry in the preheated air fryer for 10 minutes, shake the basket, and fry an additional 8 minutes. Flip wings over and fry until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear, 5 to 6 more minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine butter and 1 teaspoon Old Bay® seasoning for sauce in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
• Dip each wing in the sauce. Serve with remaining sauce on the side.

AIR FRYER BUFFALO CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Preheat an air fryer to 360 degrees F (182 degrees C).
• Place wings in a large bowl. Drizzle oil over wings and massage until chicken is evenly coated.
• Place 1/2 the wings in the air fryer basket and cook for 25 minutes. Use tongs to flip wings and cook 5 minutes more. Transfer cooked wings to a large bowl. Repeat with remaining wings.
• While second batch is cooking, combine hot pepper sauce, butter, vinegar, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir and keep warm until wings are done.
• Pour sauce over cooked wings and toss to coat.

AIR-FRIED CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Separate each chicken wing in two at the joint, removing the wing tips if you like using sharp kitchen scissors. Toss the chicken wings in the oil and seasoning, then tip into an air fryer (you can either use one with a paddle, or arrange them on the tray of your air fryer if it doesn't have a paddle).
• Program the air fryer to cook for 35 mins. Check the wings are tender and cooked through - they should be almost falling off the bone - and cook for a further 5 mins if needed. The skin should have bubbled and crisped up, and any excess fat from the chicken will have dripped off into base of the fryer (discard this). Don't leave the chicken in the fryer, or the steam will make the skin soft again. Immediately tip into a bowl and serve with sauce for dipping.
