Instructions
 

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • 1️⃣ Preheat the Air Fryer – Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and let it heat up for a few minutes. This ensures even cooking and helps the wings crisp up nicely.
  • 2️⃣ Arrange the Frozen Wings – Place the frozen wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding, as this allows the hot air to circulate properly.
  • 3️⃣ First Round of Cooking – Air fry for 10 minutes, then open the basket and give the wings a quick shake or flip them using tongs.
  • 4️⃣ Season the Wings – Once they start to thaw, lightly spray with cooking oil and sprinkle your chosen seasoning blend for extra flavor.
  • 5️⃣ Continue Cooking – Air fry for another 10–15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
  • 6️⃣ Check for Doneness – Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe eating.
  • 7️⃣ Toss in Sauce & Serve – If using a sauce, transfer the hot wings to a bowl and toss them in Buffalo, BBQ, or Garlic Parmesan before serving.
