Ingredients

1 lb frozen chicken wings
1 tbsp oil spray (optional)
favorite sauce (buffalo, BBQ, or garlic parmesan, optional)

Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 380°F for 3–5 minutes.
Place frozen wings in the basket in a single layer. Do not stack. Lightly spray with oil if desired.
Cook for 12–15 minutes to begin defrosting and cooking.
Shake or flip the wings halfway through cooking to ensure even results.
Continue cooking for another 10–12 minutes until wings begin to crisp.
Increase temperature to 400°F and cook for 5–8 more minutes for a crispy finish.
Check that internal temperature reaches 165°F. Toss in sauce if desired and serve hot.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the basket to ensure crispiness. Shake or flip halfway through cooking. For extra crispy wings, finish at 400°F for the last few minutes. You can toss wings in sauce after cooking or add dry rub halfway through for deeper flavor.
