These are your basic chicken wings made with a garlicky hot sauce in an air fryer. These crispy wings will leave you licking your fingers and wishing for more. Airfried chicken wings are so crispy and tasty without using any extra oil. Making them in an air fryer is healthy and cleaning up is easy. Fry without the fat – the wings taste just as good as deep-fried.

What is an Air Fryer?

An air fryer is really just a small convection oven that enables food to crisp up and cook rapidly. It sits on your kitchen counter and works by speedily circulating hot air around food to cook it quickly. An air fryer comes complete with a removable basket similar to that of a deep fryer. Instead of plunging the food into hot oil as in a deep fryer, the food in an air fryer basket is baked by the heat from the air flowing around it. An air fryer really shines at mock deep frying.

How Many Wings Can You Cook at Once?

The number of wings that you can cook all at the same time depends on the size of your air fryer. I have a Panasonic and I can fit about 10-12 smallish wings in it. Click here and here to see reviews of different makes and sizes of air fryers. There are lots of air fryers on the market so you are sure to find one that’s just right for you.

Can You Stack Wings in an Air Fryer?

You can to a limited extent. Keep in mind that successful cooking in an air fryer depends on air circulating through. So you can stack a few wings on top of each other, but don’t pack them in there or they won’t crisp evenly. It might be better to cook them in two batches.

Can You Cook These Wings Without an Air Fryer?

Yes, if you don’t have an air fryer, you can cook these wings in the oven. Place them on a baking rack on a cookie sheet and bake at 400 degrees for about 25 minutes.
