Crispy Chicken Wings Secret
Ensure the wings are completely dry before seasoning and cooking. Excess moisture can prevent them from getting crispy, so pat them dry with paper towels or let them air dry for 15 minutes.
Another way to ensure you get a crispy wing is to arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket with space between them for air circulation.
Overcrowding prevents proper air circulation and can lead to uneven cooking and less crispiness.
This helps achieve even cooking and crispy results. You may need to cook in batches if making a large quantity.
Towards the end of the cooking time, increase the air fryer temperature for a few minutes. This will help give the wings an extra crispy, golden brown finish.

Flipping halfway through cooking ensures even browning and crispiness on both sides. Set a timer for about 15 minutes, flip the wings, and continue cooking until crispy.
The wings are done when they are golden brown and have an internal temperature of at least 165°F. For extra crispiness, you can continue cooking them for a few more minutes.
What to Serve with Homemade Wings
Wings are great served with carrot sticks and celery sticks and dipped in ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing. They can also be tossed in your favorite sauce like buffalo sauce for a kick!
Serve with some potato wedges or pretzel bites on the side for a tasty game-day meal or snack that the whole family will love!
Storage and Reheating Instructions
Refrigerate: To store leftover air fryer chicken wings, place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3-4 days. When reheating, use the air fryer at 350°F for 3-5 minutes to regain their crispiness.
Freezer: Place the cooled wings in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze individually, then transfer them to a freezer safe container or zip top bag. They can be frozen for up to 3 months.
Thaw and Reheat: When ready to eat, reheat the wings directly from frozen in the air fryer at 350°F for 8-10 minutes, checking for doneness.
