Air Fryer Frozen Chicken Wings
- Ingredients 4 pieces frozen chicken wings full drumettes, wingettes, and tip
- ¾ teaspoon granulated garlic
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- kosher salt to taste
- ground black pepper to taste
- 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil optional
Instructions
- Pre-heat Air Fryer at 300°F (149°C). Set at 40 minutes.
- Gently transfer frozen chicken wings onto Air Fryer tray and slowly insert tray into the middle cooking chamber, near the rotisserie catch.
- In a small bowl, mix garlic and cayenne.
- After 10 minutes, slowly separate chicken wings and turn each piece. No need to wait for the "turn food" reminder provided by the Air Fryer.
- After 5 more minutes, carefully remove Air Fryer tray with chicken wings.
- Increase the temperature of the Air Fryer to 370°F (188°C). See tips or notes when closing the door.
- Transfer the chicken wings to a plate. If you see any red or pink liquid dripping from some drumettes, simply wipe off the myoglobin with kitchen towel.
- Season chicken wings with salt. Opt to drizzle minimal oil. Season with black pepper and garlic-cayenne mixture on all sides.
- Transfer seasoned chicken wings, skin side up, back onto the Air Fryer tray and return into the middle cooking chamber. Timer should read at 25 minutes remaining.
- After 10 minutes, turn chicken wings on the other side, skin side down.
- For crispier chicken skin, turn all chicken wings to the other side - skin side up, at the last 5 minutes.
- When the timer stops, the chicken wings are crispy and golden or when the thickest part of the drumettes' internal temperature reads 165F, remove the Air Fryer tray.
- Allow the chicken wings to rest for a few minutes. Then transfer to a plate and serve. Enjoy as is or with your favorite dipping sauce.
