Air Fryer Chicken Wings (Extra Crispy!)
These Air Fryer Chicken Wings have crisp salty skin with a hint of garlic and lemon pepper in every bite. These are seasoned to perfection and cook so fast with no marinating required!
We love crispy baked chicken like my Mom’s famous Chicken Drumsticks these Garlic Dijon Baked Chicken Legs or baked Honey Glazed Chicken but the air fryer is our new best friend for chicken because it’s so much faster and memorably crispy!

Air Fryer Chicken Wings Recipe:
Chicken wings in the air fryer is brilliant and you will be making chicken way more often if you try them in the air fryer. The forced circulating hot air makes the skin super crisp which is difficult to achieve in a conventional oven and the center is perfectly cooked, tender and juicy.
Air fried chicken wings cook time is just 16 minutes (3 times faster than a traditional oven). There’s no need to preheat an air fryer which makes this the fastest crispy chicken wings recipe.
Can I Double the Recipe?
For all-around crispy chicken wings, it’s best to keep the wings in a single layer. If you have a larger air fryer like our Cuisinart model, you can double everything. When doubling, air fry for 18-22 minutes, or until the skin is crisp, flipping the wings half way. Bake time will vary based on the surface area of your air fryer basket.
What is the Best Air Fryer?
There are 2 very different styles of air fryers. The first type is a toaster oven style with a little oven door like this Cuisinart model that we have, this Farberware model that my sister has, or this fancy one by Breville.
The second type is a slide-in drawer/basket type like the Phillips air fryer, Gourmia or Nuwave brands. We prefer the Cuisinart toaster oven style air fryer because it can accommodate more food and serves a variety of functions. It replaced our old toaster oven because it air fries, bakes, broils and toasts.
Can I Bake these in a traditional oven?
It takes significantly longer to achieve crispy chicken wings in the oven. To bake these chicken wings in a conventional oven, preheat oven to 400˚F and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until crispy, flipping the wings after 30 minutes.
How to Make Air Fryer Chicken Wings:
The dry rub for these chicken wings is so simple with our go-to spices for baked, sautéed or air fried chicken. All you need is garlic salt and lemon pepper.
Toss the wings in a little oil and the 2 seasonings, arrange them on the basket and bake right away. You can let them marinate if you prefer but there’s no need to pre-marinate.
These Air Fried Chicken Wings have a crisp salty skin with a tender center. Pair them with fresh celery and avocado ranch to dip and let the snacking begin!

Hi! I'm Natasha Kravchuk. Here you'll find delicious, trusted recipes with easy step-by-step photos and videos. 
I spent a little extra when we bought our new stove and got the convection option. One less small appliance to find room for. It works great for crimping food.
Excellent! Haven’t been a fan of my air fryer but this recipe changed me. If I only use the fryer for these wings, family will be happy. Simple recipe but so tasty.
I’m so glad you loved it, Amy! Thank you for the wonderful review!
I am new to this. I have just received a 3.8 litre Air Fryer with an 8×8 basket. I guess it is a small Air Fryer. It was a gift. The temperature only goes up to 390. Do you think I could use this recipe. What do you suggest I do with the first batch when the second is cooking.
Hi Linda! That’s pretty close to 400 degrees! I bet that could still work! It may take slightly longer to air fry.
Hi Natasha, I have a microwave air fry oven. would this recipe work in it ?
Hi Carla, I don’t have any way to test that since my microwave doesn’t have that option. Sorry I can’t be more help with that question.
This is my go to recipe for lemon pepper wings in the airfryer. I eliminate the garlic salt and just use the lemon pepper seasoning. Too salty with the garlic salt!
Hello there, great to hear that this is now your go-to recipe. That’s right, just feel free to adjust any seasonings according to your preference.
I used the rotisserie basket and cooked the wings for 30 minutes. They turned out really good served with bleu cheese dressing for dipping. I will check out your other air fryer recipes as I get more familiar with using the fryer. Thank you!
Great to hear that the recipe was a success, Lori. Thank you for the review!
My new favourite wing recipe. I made this in my oven and baked the wings for 45 minutes. Actually I added a few more minutes since my wings weren’t quite thawed. I was nervous about the long baking time but trusted the recipe and they turned out nice and crispy!!
That’s so great! I’m happy you found a new favorite, Shana!
Made these, they were awesome. When they were done I tossed them in some Buffalo sauce. Guys love them while watching the games.
Thank you so much for sharing that with me, Brenda! I’m so happy you enjoyed that.
Wings turned out nice and crisp! They were a bit too salty. Would cut down on the garlic salt next time.
Thanks for your review, Kristen.
The air fryer
Chicken wing recipe is fantastic! Made them for the first time, turned out perfectly
Cooked and spiced!
Thanks for your review, Lisa. Glad you loved it!
Hi, In answer to the gentleman Russ who has a Samsung Air Fry Oven, I have a Frigidaire and it says never to use olive oil because it will cause sm0ke. It says to use Avocado oil, it seems to be able to cook with higher heat and not smoke. Also follow your air fryer guide. I did this and there was a big difference..
We made these tonight and man I wish I’d read your review first. Our house is FILLED with smoke right now! Our smoke alarm was going off the whole time. The wings were good but not worth it for how smoky the house got.
Can they be frozen are reheated at a later date? If so, how do you recommend reheating them?
Hi Callie, I honestly haven’t tested that yet to advise. If you do an experiment, please share with us how it goes.
Excellent recipe and so easy to modify for your specific tastes. Since I don’t like lemon, I sub regular ground pepper and some cayenne pepper to knock the heat up just a little. So good!
That’s a good substitute, thanks for sharing! I’m glad you enjoyed this recipe.
we only eat breast I have them flat , how long to cook they are small
Hi Dawn, I haven’t tried just the chicken breast using this recipe, but I imagine the amount of time needed will change. If you test that out, I’d love to know how you like that.
I discovered I can stand the wings up along the edges of my basket eliminating having to turn them. They get crispy and perfect.
Thanks for sharing that with us, MJ.
Love this recipe! Lost count of how many times I used this recipe. I did use 1 tsp of garlic salt and 1 tsp of garlic powder instead of 2 tsp of garlic salt to cut down on the salt. Turns out perfect each time. Thank you.
That’s so great! It sounds like you found a favorite recipe on my blog! That’s just awesome!
New Samsung Air fryer oven and all it did was smoke like crazy. Help
Hi Russ! It’s hard to say what’s causing all that smoke. I would follow your Air Fryer instructions before cooking in it since I haven’t had that experience.
Hi Natasha!
I was recently introduced to your site and so far I am loving your recipes! I too have the same Air Fryer and it works great! However, I seem to have the hardest time cleaning it, and yours looks so clean, practically new!! Any suggestions? Thank you!
I’m so happy you discovered our blog. Welcome, Gail! 🙂 The one I own is just like cleaning any mini oven. I wipe down the door and clean the drip pan with every use. When I use it, I also put the trays and racks into the dishwasher that day.
Natasha, I make your egg rolls and we love them. The problem I have is when frying them I have a problem with the egg rolls turning over to cook on both sides, it’s a battle. Otherwise they are our go-to snack and are delicious. We use sweet Chili Sauce by Panda Express. It’s good but a tad got.
Hi Evelyn, I understand what you mean but I’m glad you liked the recipe! Thanks for sharing that with us.
I have found that when I am air frying something like egg rolls, it’s best to put down a piece of parchment paper first. They won’t stick to that. Works every time.
AMAZING! my favorite wings ever. but be careful with salt because lemon pepper has salt in it!
Thanks for your review and reminder, Arya.
Amazing simple recipe! By the way, I did add a bit of herb to it and it tastes amazing
Thanks for your great review, Kenneth and for sharing that with us. What herb did you add, just curious?
Wondering if toaster oven is easier to clean…worried about sides getting really greasy, while pullout basket type you pull everything out and clean no stainless splattered sides……
Hi Joan, if it happens to get dirty, I recommend wiping it once it’s cool to touch.
Huh, if it gets dirty just clean it! smdh
Marvelous
Thank you!!
Outstanding air fried chicken wings and super easy ingredients.Thanks Natashas😋🥰
I’m so happy you enjoyed this recipe! Thank you so much for sharing that with me.
making the wings tonight but think mine are to big, taking a long time to cook and not browning like yours.
Hi Carol, very large ones can take longer to cook, but make sure to separate the wing into 2 parts as I did in the recipe above.
I like mine we’ll done and crispy so I usually cook about 35 minutes
Is it okay to use butter instead of oil on these. I want to make them for someone who cannot use plant based ingredients at this time.
Hi Linda, I think that will work but I haven’t tried it yet. If you do an experiment, please share with us how it goes.
Wow…it was scrupulous and amazing….though I would like 2 ask which dishes can best serve as starters on your dinner menu/breakfast..🤔🤔I have special visitors this week
Thanks for your review! Here are some appetizers that you can try.
My oven has a built in air fryer. I tried the wings and it was a disaster! Any advise?
Hi Yolanda, I haven’t tried it in an oven with a built-in air fryer, so it’s hard to say what went wrong without being there. Did they require more time?
I have an oven/air fryer as well. I have found that I need to decrease my temp by 25 degrees or so and add a little extra time.
I am blown away….how can such simple ingredients turn into an amazing dish….? This dish was absolutely DELICIOUS!!!!! My husband bought me the same air fryer so I found your recipe and I’m so happy I did. honeslty If I could give this a 10 star I would. Only 4 ingredients, no prep, easy cleanup…and my family ate all of them!!!
Wow, that’s awesome feedback. Thank you for your perfect rating, I’m glad you loved it!
I have the Same CuisineArt air fryer. Would I put the basket on the bottom shelf setting or middle? Also, would the basket sit on the pan or no pan needed under the basket?
Hi Waseem, I recommend taking a look at the photos in the recipe post. In one of the air fryers, you can see inside we have the wings on the wire rack on the middle shelf and the pan with foil catching any drippings at the bottom. I hope this helps.
How do you air fry chicken thighs????
Can you use this recipe with chicken drumsticks (the little ones)?
Hi Mary, I haven’t tested that with drumsticks but it sounds like a great experiment! I imagine the cook time will need to be adjusted.
Great recipe! Very excited to try it. However, I cannot use olive oil in my ninja grill, what oil can I substitute for?
Hi Sarah, any high-heat cooking oil should work. I use a light olive oil which has a high smoke point (not extra virgin)
I always LOVE your recipes! I cook many of your recipes for my family. But myself, I follow a Keto lifestyle, so it would be very helpful if your Nutrition guides for each recipe included Carbohydrates and Fibre. Thanks for making cooking fun!
Thanks for your comments and suggestions, Karen. I also have a diet category on my website, you can check out the recipes here.
Hi Natasha
Loving all your recipes and cooking show videos.
Love your passion and really delicious recipes are all family pleasers.
Love from South Africa
Hello Lallie, I’m happy to know that you’re enjoying my video tutorials and recipes. I hope you love every recipe that you will try!
nice seasoning, I’ll have to double recipe if I made more wings. (used 4 wings)
Thank you so much for sharing that with me. I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
I’m new to the air fryer, but made this tonight….. it was so good. Will definitely make again! Thanks for the recipe.
You are very welcome, Jan. Great to hear that you liked the recipe!
Hi,
can you make this recipe in a PowerXL air fryer?
Hi Cocoa, I haven’t tested that but here’s what one of my readers wrote: “I just purchased the Pro power XL and let it heat up for the first time LOL and the door just came off WOW. I’m gonna let the blasted thing cool off then try your wings hehe I hope the door can handle it lol here goes for the first time thanks for the recipe loves and hugs chica” I hope this is helpful
Can you use frozen wings for this recipe?
Hi Paula, I haven’t tested this with frozen wings, but I have read it is possible! If you experiment, please let me know how you like that with this recipe!
I make these at least once a week .They are soooo good .Thanks for all your recipes. I Love them all.
You’re welcome! I’m glad you’re enjoying my recipes.
Cám ơn Chị Natashas Kitchen rất nhiều về những bài làm bánh của Chị.
You’re welcome! I’m happy you’re enjoying my blog!
These came out great! My “go to” recipe from now on! Super easy, too!!
I cooked them a little bit longer, about 9 minutes a side. Super crispy, just the way I like them!
That’s so great! It sounds like you have a new favorite!
DELICIOUS! (LIKE “ALL” YOUR RECIPES!🥰
Thank you so much!
My wings were tasty and crispy(very pleased), but they weren’t golden/orange colored like yours. Mine were more on the whiter side with charred crispy areas . Any tips ?
Hi Jeff, It sounds like they may need some more time to get golden. Are you frying these at the same heat? No alterations were made to the recipe?
Followed recipe.
They were great just not golden.
What rack position do you use ?
Hi Jeff, we have a photo in the recipe of our tray position. We have the wings on the top wire rack and a drip tray on the bottom slot. I hope that helps.
Make sure you dry the wings thoroughly. It’s exceptional to dry them on a rack in your fridge overnight tossed with a little baking powder or cornstarch. This will make the skin extra crispy.
My Frigidaire oven has air fry. Times and temps for it would likely be more like your Cuisinart???
Hi Craig! That’s awesome! I didn’t realize ovens have that feature too! I would read through your oven air fryer instructions just if any changes need to be made, but I imagine it will be the same if it’s an air fryer.
The recipe: 5 Stars. Works perfectly on my little Elite air fryer. However, I am on a mission to warn everyone that full-sized range air fryers take MUCH longer than the little oven cooking times. I was so looking forward to making this recipe with my new Samsung oven that comes with both convection and air fryer mode, but I am now almost an hour into what should have been a 16-minute cook time for these chicken wings and they are barely browned. I’m pulling out my Elite to cook little batches while my oven is barely able to cook one single large batch
Hi Pat, glad you enjoyed the recipe on your little air fryer. Thank you as well for the heads up, I’m sure a lot of people will find this info so useful. We appreciate it!
Sounds like you need to calibrate your oven. You can google how to do this.
I made this for dinner and im actually eating one right now lol but let me tell you i am a horrible cook i littely make disgusting food but when i mae this recipe i was so impresed i have never made chicken so good thank you but i changed up a few things
1 used oven since my air fryer isn’t here yet still crispy but not a lot
2 added way more varieties of seasoning
3 made them a little bit barbecued
i love your recipe and will be trying i the way you did once my air fryer gets delivered tanks Natasha i hope to be as good as you someday 🙂
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Because I have enjoyed some of your other recipes, I thought I would give this a go. So glad I did. Such easy prep, and clean up, and tremendous crisp, tasty wings. These turned out so well, they will be a regular for us. So easy to prepare sides while these are “frying”. Thank for another winner.
Hello Dale, thank you for your great comments and feedback. Glad you enjoyed this recipe!
What if you don’t have lemon pepper
Hi Hafsah, I haven’t tried a substitution. The lemon pepper does add an extra tangy/salty flavor to these. You might need to search online for a homemade lemon pepper. I haven’t tried making it, but I have seen many recipes for it on google.
If my air fryer is philips what temperature do I use and how long
Hi Terry, I recommend checking the instructions but it’s normally the same for different brands.
Absolutely the best wings anyone can have. Super easy too!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Is the serving size one wing?
Hi Renee, this serves 4, but it depends on the size of your wings, but it was about 3-4 wings per serving.
This doesn’t add up. 1lb of chicken wings definitely won’t give u 14 sections u have here in the picture. Unless in your picture you made 2 lbs of chicken.
These were perfect! Only thing I did differently was using garlic powder instead of salt (not big on salt) they turned out perfect thank you 🙂
Thank you so much for sharing that with me, Ramsay!
Hi Natasha. I am going out to purchase an air fryer for myself very soon. I always have used baking powder toss with wings and sat overnight in the fridge. When you bake them they turn out like deep fried. Looking forward to trying out the airfryer chicken wings. Happy cooking!
I hope you love this recipe and your NEW Air Fryer! That’s so exciting!
I just purchased the Pro power XL and let it heat up for the first time LOL and the door just came off WOW. I’m gonna let the blasted thing cool off then try your wings hehe I hope the door can handle it lol here goes for the first time thanks for the recipe loves and hugs chica
Hi Natasha, I have the same Air Fryer that you have. I love it and now I really love it after trying your recipe for the party wings. I finally pick up some wings at the store and made them exactly according to your recipe. They are soooo good and crispy. I went to the store the next day and got two more packages.
Thanks for the great wings.
Jan
Love it! Thank you for trying out this recipe, I’m so happy to know that you loved it!
What can l use if l don’t have garlic salt Natasha?
Hi Monicca, you could sub with equal parts garlic powder and salt.
Hi Natasha, this looks great. I have the same air fryer and want to try. Should I put the tray in the top or bottom slot for best results?
Hi Matt, we have a photo in the recipe of our tray position. We have the wings on the top wire rack and a drip tray on the bottom slot. I hope that helps.
Hi Natasha! Me and my dad love your recipes! We are going to make these wings tonight and was wondering if we needed to soak the wings in water before cooking them? Thanks for your help!
Great to heat that, Catherine. Soaking or brining is not a necessary step in this recipe which is why we did not include that in the ingredients. I hope you love the chicken wings recipe!
Excellent air fryer chicken wings, I added 2 teaspoons of baking powder to the mix and increased the cook time to 14 minutes per side. This made the wings extra crispy.
Thank you for sharing that great review with me, Brian! I’m happy you enjoyed this recipe!
Natasha,Where do you put the dial on the air fryer? Bake ,broil fry. I have one w/all choices, Thank You.
Hi Kate, on ours, there is an Air Fry setting which is what we use.
Why flip the wings when using the air fryer?
This is my first time using an air fryer and want to make sure I am using it correctly.
I am gong to be using Dash 6qrt.
Thank you,
Donna
Hi Donna, flipping makes sure the food is evenly cooked.
You mwntion in your videos you will add notes or links to view products you use. I cannot find thes notes and links. Please advise where to fond these. Thank you
Hi Sande, you can see them linked in the video description on Youtube. You can also find our favorite kitchen tools in our Amazon Affiliate Shop HERE.
Deliciously crispy as advertised.
Thanks for your great review, Peter!
I’ve read that adding baking powder gives the wings a more crispy texture. Have you tried this in your recipe?
Hi Lisa, I haven’t tested to advise. If you happen to experiment I would love to know how you like that.
I can attest that baking powder does make them crispier. Add anywhere from a teaspoon to a tablespoon.
YES, tossing the wings in baking powder after you season, absolutely does make them super crispy, makes the BEST wings ever!!
These were amazingly delish.
I’m so happy you enjoyed that, Jan!
Hi! Is it necessary to brine or soak the wings in buttermilk first? Can’t wait to try these!
Hi Megan, soaking or brining is not a necessary step in this recipe which is why we did not include that in the ingredients. I hope you love the chicken wings recipe!
I always put my wings in a Ziploc bag, to shake them up with the oil and spices. It coats them perfectly, and makes for easy clean up.
I love that idea! So easy and minimal cleanup.
Do you have written recipes on your blog for your videos? Was unable to detect the amount of each ingredients on some.
Hi Jane, yes, all of the written recipes are on our blog with exact ingredients that are in print-friendly format.
Love your recipes and videos. Can’t wait to try this recipe for Super Bowl! My husband say other than me, you a re his girl! I laugh and say I love her too!
Ahaha! That’s the best! I hope you both like this recipe, Lynn!
sounds delish, but your SALT content is outrageous for a healthy adult. 52% sodium for 4 ounces of bone-in wings; people will likely eat twice that many wings with make the salt 104% of daily dosage. Try garlic powder rather than garlic salt.
Hi Barb, you could do garlic powder instead of garlic salt to reduce the salt content or just add a little less seasoning.
You do know that those percentages are guidelines right. They are not “exceed by 4% for 1 party and die!” Chill. Live a little once or, dare to dream, twice a year
Oh good grief! Lighten up. If you don’t like the salt, don’t do it. Easy as that! Smh
I just wanted to pop in and add my two cents to the salt issue. Mostly because it really bothers me when people criticize others for things they don’t know about. The US recommendations of 2500mg/day of sodium are very low. There are other countries currently upping their intake guidelines to numbers around 5000 – twice what ours is in the US. So if you live in one of those places, for example, it’s only 25% of your salt intake – which then makes it no big deal, am I right? Remember, it’s still the same amount of salt. For me personally, since I started following a whole food diet and eliminating processed foods, have found that I get incredible migraines if I don’t have enough salt (my sweet spot is right around 6000 mg/day – one day under is no big deal but two or more in a row and I’m guaranteed a headache). Everyone is different. If you personally don’t like salt (or are afraid of it), just don’t use it, but please don’t harp on this woman for using salt to make delicious food. I love salt and thanks for your recipe, Natasha!!
I’m a big fan and have tried several of your recipes. My wife has also started to follow along!
Question: Do you have any keto diet recipes and, if so, are they on your website?
God Bless
Hi Richard, we do have a Keto recipes section now, but isn’t all-inclusive yet as it is new and we are slowly adding to it. You can find all of our diet categories and other categories by clicking “Recipes” at the top of the site.
SO excited for your new Keto section!! I love your recipes and so happy to hear there’s a new keto section! YAY!
It was most requested so we are slowly building to add more recipes there.
I have made several of your recipes. Made the banana bread and chicken & mushrooms this week. Love them. Enjoy your videos and they are so easy to make.
I’m so happy to hear that, Flora! Thank you for that wonderful review.
Is this cooking all the wings at once, or are they to lay flat in a single row.
I love your recipes, you make them so easy to follow.
Hi Kris, it’s best to have them in one row.
I absolutely adore your recipes. I have saved your videos and printed so many of your recipes . im finding that daily im cooking food or baking something sweet of yours. Im very finicky of the herbs n seasonings used in cooking n i find that your recipes are up to my standards of cooking n baking. Im european n i cant tell you how much i love your cheesecake recipe n your clam seasoning n your salad recipes ! I cant name them all but you are literally a damn good cook natasha ! Thank you. I also share your recipes with my grown up daughters. Love you. stay safe. R. P.
I’m so happy you love our recipes! Thank you so much for the fantastic review and your encouraging words. I am smiling big reading your comment
All recipes are incredibly simple and tasty. This is one of them.
She is awesome!
Hello Lilia, thank you so much!
I usually love Natashas recipes but these were way too salty for me!
Hi Angela, I’m not sure if this was the case, but using a different seasoning can make all the difference. Some brands can be saltier than others.
I found it to be too salty for me, too. I’ll make it again but will cut the salt in half.
Just got an Airfryer and made the wings following your recipe, best wings ever, my family’s favourite. Thank you! Make a lot of your recipes and they all are amazing
You are very welcome! That makes me happy knowing that you’ve been loving my recipes. Thanks for sharing!
Going to try this air dryer chicken wings. I can never get them crispy so hopefully this will work. Love all your recipes.
I hope this becomes your new favorite, Lesley!
Spot on 🙂
Soooo good!! I never made chicken wings before and this was a hit! So easy too. I have the visionary air fryer and followed someone’s suggestion. Set temp at 400 degrees and set to Air Fry. Did 10 minutes per side as I had 1.5 lbs of chicken. Delish
Thank you!
I’m not sure how to post my photo.
I’m so happy you enjoeyd that Mj! Thank you for sharing that with us. You are welcome to share your photo on social media and tag #natashaskitchen
Hi Natasha. All of your recipes that I have tried have been spectacular. I just bought a 7 qt. Power XL air fryer and an Instant Pot 8qt. Duo Nova pressure cooker. Both for different recipes, but do you have a recipe for air fried Buffalo chicken wings? Mild please. 🙂 Thanks.
I’m glad you’ve been enjoying my recipes, Ray. I don’t have a recipe for that yet but thanks for the idea and suggestion. Hopefully I can try this in the future!
I made your meatloaf tonight…its in my regular rotation….and tomorrow I’m doing your Lasagna roll ups…Love that one!! I love how fun u make it, to cook!!
Wow, sounds great! I hope you love every recipe that you try, Tina.
All I have is a cheap jet stream oven, but I’m giving them a shot, finished in some Buffalo sauce. I like the heat. Maybe some parmesan too. Thanks, Natasha, enjoy your recipes.
You’re welcome! I hope this becomes your new favorite, Gary.
I love you ! Your recipes are always for something I can do. You are funny and light hearted. I want to see you on Food Network.
Thank you for that wonderful compliment, Louise! you’re so nice!
Hi Natasha so I just made this wings. They are a life changing they came out nice and crispy. Salty too but that’s ok thank you. Next time I want to do the chicken sandwich and the BLT sandwich thanks for all that you do. Love Margarita
I’m so happy you enjoeyd this recipe, Margarita! I hope you love those sandwich recipes! They’re our favorite!
I get the lemon /pepper shake.
But the level of sodium you list.
Obviously connected to that brand of garlic salt.
Is INSANE.
LOOKS PRETTY.
But so what . If you’re calling
911 a couple hours later because your BP numbers are shooting thru the roof.
And you’re experiencing symptoms of a STROKE if you’re over the age of 29.
Why don’t you look somewhere else for recipes? Why just ost to be rude? Any cooking show that is on TV always uses salt. I’m 65 and still kicking.
So rude and unnecessary. This recipe is perfection!
Obviously to most, you could just use garlic powder to reduce the salt.
Hi Natasha, my sister and I made these chicken wings two weeks ago. They were so good! Our family loved it! We tore them up. Definitely our go to recipe for chicken wings. Thanks for the recipe Natasha 🙂
Yay, love it! Thank you for sharing your good experience with us. I’m glad your family enjoyed this recipe!
fist time using my air fryer productively! Next time I will add more garlic 🙂 My pcs were not small so I had to add a few more minutes. I did a double layer on wire racks and it took 20+ mins with turning as well as rotating the top rack to the bottom and bottom up. Will do again. The second batch was don’t in a single layer and OMG were they beautiful and tasty. Pics next time!
typo – second batch WAS in a single layer off 6 pcs.
Sounds wonderful! Thank you for sharing that with us, Christine. Please share some photos next time, you may share them on our Facebook page or group so others can also see them.
Made these today! It was just as simple as you showed in your video and explained in the blog. There are 8 people in my family. I tripled the recipe and used my convection oven because…tripled the recipe! They were devoured. Served them with celery, radishes, ranch dressing and Frank’s hot sauce. This will be on repeat! Thank you!
Fantastic, so great to hear that! Thanks for sharing that with us, Michelle.
Do the wings have to be thawed. Is there a way to do them frozen.
Yes, you will have to thaw the wings first.
Please add the fiber and carbohydrates to your recipe nutrition facts. I eat in a way that balances protein, fiber and carbs, at each meal, as well as limiting overall fat intake to deal with insulin resistance and improve my health.
Thanks Natasha! I love watching you cook!
Judy
Thanks for your suggestion, Judy.
I rarely leave comments on recipes, but this one was so perfect, I just had to! I already love the garlic salt/lemon pepper combination (it’s what I regularly use when I’m oven roasting broccoli, baby carrots, and sweet potatoes), and it’s perfect for wings! I was a little concerned that the cooking time wouldn’t be enough, but they came out perfectly cooked! Nice and crispy on the outside, very juicy on the inside. This is now my go-to recipe for cooking wings in the air fryer. Thank you!!
That’s so great! It sounds like you have a new favorite!
Love all your recipes. Of all the people I follow, your recipes are the ones I make the most often- usually 2-4 times/week.
Thank you so much for trusting my recipes, Ruben. Appreciate it!
I have a convection oven. Can I make these in my oven?
Thanks
Hi Anna, yes these would work to bake in the oven, but will take longer than an air fryer.
Those are yummy wings and thank your for the recipe. I modified it to include filling an empty spice bottle with baking soda, garlic/onion powder and mesquite powder to sprinkle on the chicken.. It makes the process easier. Thanks
I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that with us!
Absolutely the best wings that I have ever tasted, but then I am not surprised. I have tried a lot of your recipes and have yet to be disappointed. Thank You So Much.
You’re welcome! I’m so happy you enjoyed it, David!
Hi Natasha
We have a new Instant Pot with the air-fryer lid.
Will this recipe work with it? If so can you suggest how?
We have never tried the lid as there are a almost no recipes to use with it…
Hi Stephen, I don’t have that machine so I can’t say for sure.
Yes it will
WOW! easy and great fast.
Thank you, Dave!
I have an air fryer that turns with no basket, just a turner and coated sides. Will this still work
Hi Susie, that should still work. I hope you love the recipe!
Can you include the Carbs and fiber numbers?
Thank you
Hi Richard, we normally include carbohydrates unless there are none or the calculator calculates none.
Instead of rolling in oil, just spray lightly with Pam Olive Oil.
It’s less messy and coats well.
Thank you for sharing that feedback with us, Marion.
I like your show you have a great personality and you cook really well I enjoyed every day because I watch you every day on my phone
Thank you for watching our recipes! I hope you try them soon!
I’m getting a new set of wall ovens that have an airfry setting, and I’m looking for recipes. Thank you! Love trying your recipes
Do you have other air fryer recipes? I got one, would like to have more. Thank you
Hi Christine, you can find more air fryer recipes HERE.
These turned out delicious. We are making more tomorrow. We may add a little less of the salt next time, but they were still so good!
Hello Sarah, thanks for your good comments and feedback! I’m glad you liked this recipe.
I tried this with the Breville air fryer and I could not get it to crisp. I left in 22 minutes on 400 and then turned up to 425 for an additional 8 and it was cooked but never crisped.
Hi Dana, I haven’t tried this in a Breville to advise. Did you make sure to use the basket and not a pan? Also, I recommend reading through the Breville air fry instructions to make sure adjustments don’t need to be made. I hope this helps.
add a pinch of baking powder
Can you please tell me the model number of your air fryer, when I clink on the link it sends me to multiple items on amazon. Thank you
Hi, we have the TOA 60 model. It looks like it’s not available on Amazon right now – may be sold out during Christmas. Maybe check back Amazon later or see if there is a comparable one.
Costco has the upgraded version of this cuisinart with digital display. Purchased a few months ago and LOVE it! Highly recommend.
Thanks for sharing that with us, Victoria.
I don’t understand how you can double the recipe. You can only cook the same number of them each time, so the cooking time shouldn’t change.
How is that affecting the recipe and taste? You seem like a pick-me person.
Hi. The recipe is for 1 lb of wings. Our Cuisinart unit handles 2. Tried 10 mins each side at 400 last night…Perfect. Crispy. Juicy.
These look great, I am going to give this a go with legs as well, will be a hit with the kids.
I hope they love this recipe!
Great! Simple seasonings make for big flavors. After cooking I tossed the wings in tablespoon of melted butter with 1/4 teaspoon of lemon juice.
We agree! Thank you for stopping but with your review!
How do you do it in a ninja?
Hi Pam, I don’t have a Ninja to advise but if it has similar air fry features I would recommend comparing them to your owners manual instructions.
You have to toss them every 5 minutes or so. Also, the cooking time will be a bit longer, well, a lot longer if you are doing a large batch. I just did 36 wings in a dual basket Ninja, and it took 15+10+10+5 to get them to perfection. One thing you can do to crisp is add some baking powder to the mix.
can we have one layer at the position 1 and another layer at position 2? can we have item cook at both positions (using baking pan, and racks) at the same time?
Hi Debby, I haven’t tried, and maybe if you have a larger air fryer, but from what I understand, it isn’t recommended to layer that way in my air fryer and I think my rack levels in my air fryer are too close together for them to fit in 2 layers.
This is a fantastic recipe. Crispy chicken wings in less than 20 mins is a big win! The only thing that didnt work for me was adding both garlic salt and lemon pepper together. Found it a bit on the saltier side. I will try to replace that with garlic powder next time. Thank you so much for this recipe!
Thank you for sharing this wonderful feedback with us Steffi! I’m glad to hear you enjoyed this recipe!
Try granulated garlic instead of powder, more garlic flavor.
Hi Natasha, I am so glad to see the photo of your setup to use the Cuisinart AirFryer for the wings. I used the wing recipe and instructions from Cuisinart recipe booklet and didn’t care for it. The Cuisinart recipe booklet states to “Place the AirFryer Basket onto the baking pan.” in all their AF recipes. You have the basket on the rack and the oven pan w/foil below. Is this how you do all AirFry? Can’t wait to try out wings per your setup and recipe.
Hi Susan, this is how I do all Air Fry so the air circulates around the food and crisps it on all sides.
These air fryer wings have become a family favorite. We use Penzey’s Florida Seasoned Pepper, which is basically lemon pepper with added orange peel. Look for the 2.5 pound bags of Bell & Evans frozen chicken wings. They’re perfect for this recipe.
Hello Susan. So nice to read your great comments and feedback, thank you for sharing that with us! I hope this becomes a favorite for you all.
There’s no way the wings were done in 16 minutes, more like twice that.
I agree, 20 minutes each side at least.
Hi. Its true. Did 10 wings in 16 minutes. Did 20 in 20 mins last night. Cuisinart unit like hers, we got for Christmas.
My new stove has a convection oven and an air fryer feature. I have not used it yet. Could I use this recipe?
I bet that could work Kathy! I hope you love this recipe!
Excellent recipe! We tossed ours in hot sauce right before serving, and they were fantastic. Did even use the dip!
Yum! Thank you so much for sharing that with us!
