I love how satisfying it is when I take that first bite of a chicken wing, and I hear the sound of the crunch of the crispy skin. While you may think you can only get that perfectly crispy restaurant-quality crunch with a deep fryer, the air fryer does an amazing job of mimicking it at home! Even better, it’s faster to make in the air fryer than in the oven! While oven-baked wings can be super crispy, the air fryer does the same but much quicker.

Key Ingredients:

Chicken Wings — chicken wings are a delicious budget budget-friendly source of protein! Make sure to get them split into flats and drumettes to save yourself the time from doing it yourself.

Seasonings — I use a mix of dried oregano, paprika, garlic powder, ground coriander, cumin, salt, and black pepper to season my air fryer chicken wings. Feel free to change things up by switching the seasonings to your liking.

Instructions to Make Air Fryer Chicken Wings

1. In a small bowl, combine the dried oregano, paprika, garlic powder, ground coriander, cumin, salt, and black pepper.

2. Pat the chicken wings dry with a paper towel, then add the seasonings to the chicken wings. When you pat the wings dry, it helps the seasoning stick to the thighs better. Plus, the moisture will make the thighs steam up in the air fryer, so don’t skip patting them dry!

3. Place the chicken wings in an even layer in your air fryer basket.

4. Air fry the wings for 8 minutes and then flip the wings. Continue cooking them for at least 10 more minutes or until the internal temperature is 165°F.

How to Serve Air Fryer Chicken Wings

Chicken wings work as an appetizer or as part of a main meal! Here are some ways to serve them:

As part of a snacking or appetizer plate: serve with some cut carrots, celery, edamame, and other finger foods alongside some dip.
As part of a main meal: I like serving chicken wings alongside some salad to keep the meal on the lighter side, but fries or onion rings go well with chicken wings as well!
