Expert Tips
Air fryer temperature control settings vary according to brand and model. If your air fryer does not have the exact temperature setting called for in the recipe, consult your manual for suggested temperature settings.
Look for precut wingettes and drummettes to skip the step of cutting whole chicken wings.
Be careful when removing wings. Hot chicken fat will collect in the pan below the air fryer basket and can splatter if you shake the pan and basket together.
