Description

Crispy, perfectly cooked air fryer wings made directly from frozen, featuring golden-brown skin and juicy meat inside.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package frozen chicken wings (about 2 pounds)
  • High-heat cooking oil spray
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Spray the air fryer basket with high-heat cooking oil.
  3. Place frozen wings in the air fryer basket, ensuring they’re not overcrowded.
  4. Add 1-2 tablespoons of water to the bottom of the air fryer to prevent smoking.
  5. Cook for approximately 25-30 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
  6. Check internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  7. Cook until skin is golden brown and crispy.

Notes

  • For fresh wings, reduce cooking time by 5-7 minutes.
  • Cook in batches if doubling the recipe to maintain crispiness.
  • Premium wing brands typically have 15% more meat-to-bone ratio.
  • Wings are done when skin sounds hollow when tapped lightly.
  • Separate wings before cooking if they’re not individually frozen.
