How Does An Air Fryer Make Crispy Chicken Wings?
Air fryers have been a game changer in getting healthier crispy foods without deep frying.
Unlike a deep fat fryer, where food is submerged in hot oil, an air fryer uses convection heat to get that crispy skin.
Air fryers use forced circulating hot air to cook the food, similar to a regular convection oven. This method gets you golden brown, crispy air fryer chicken wings every time!
Air fryer cooking is our favorite way to cut down on cooking time as compared to baking in an oven, which makes it easy to cook pounds of wings on game day!
Tips for Making The Best Air Fryer Chicken Wings
For the BEST WINGS, here are some tips to help:
- Try cooking wings in a single layer on the baking sheet, flipping them half way through. This is the best way to get evenly cooked, crispy wings.
- For best results, use a paper towels to remove excess moisture from the wings before cooking.
- For extra crispy air fryer wings, try lightly coating the wings with nonstick cooking spray or olive oil spray
- For easy clean up, line your air fryer basket with parchment paper.
