Juicy, fast, crispy, and unbelievably tasty! Air fryer chicken wings are the good parts of life delivered under 30 minutes.

Air Fryer Chicken Wings

Do you love chicken wings? Do you love your air fryer? To me, chicken wings and the air fryer are a match made in heaven.

These air fryer chicken wings are faster than going to the bar, ordering, and waiting for them to fry your wings. Even better, they’re super juicy, taste amazing and only take 20 minutes in the air fryer. And they’re not deep fried!

Chicken wings in air fryer, a match made in heaven

To me, the air fryer is the best option for juicy crispy chicken wings. Air fryers circulate hot air and oil all around the wings to get a perfectly crisp shell while keeping the insides extra juicy. Baking wings in the oven takes an hour, but air fryer chicken wings only take 20 minutes from start to finish which means your wings don’t have a chance to dry out.

How to make air fryer chicken wings

1. Lightly pat your chicken dry. Moisture is not your friend when you want a crispy chicken wing, so be sure to pat your wings dry with a paper towel.
2. Lightly oil. Lightly oil the chicken by tossing it with oil or spraying it with spray oil. This will promote even browning.
3. Coat the chicken. This is where the magic happens. Toss the wings in a large bowl with a bit of baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
4. Air fry. Lightly spray (or brush) the air fryer basket with oil. Arrange the wings in a single layer, with some space in between each wing.
5. Flip. Flip the wings and fry again.
6. Toss. Enjoy the wings as is or toss with sauce!
