Top Tips
- The best way to get a crispy skin of your air-fried chicken wings is to pat them dry after rinsing. Pat drying before helps to get rid of the moisture, which makes your chicken skin crispy.
- For an easy cleaning after deep frying, line the air fryer basket with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- After air frying chicken wings for 10 minutes, flip them and air fry for additional 10 minutes.
- Air fry the chicken wings until the internal temperature of the wings is 165ยฐF. Use a meat thermometer to measure the inside temperature.
- The size of the wings you use may vary, so the air frying time may also vary a little bit depending on that. Keep an eye on your wings to make sure you do not overcook or undercook.
Food Safety
- Do not use the same utensils on cooked food, that previously touched raw chicken wings.
- Wash hands after touching raw chicken wings.
- Don’t leave food at room temperature out of the refrigerator for extended periods, especially the raw chicken.
- Never leave cooking food unattended.
