To cook chicken wings in an air fryer, the typical cooking time ranges from about 16 to 25 minutes depending on temperature and wing size:
- A common method is to air fry wings at 400°F for about 18 to 20 minutes, flipping halfway through (around 10 minutes) to ensure even cooking and crispiness
- Another approach is to cook at 400°F for 10 minutes, then flip and cook an additional 7 to 12 minutes until crispy
- Some recipes start at a slightly lower temperature (360°F) for about 18 minutes to render fat, then increase to 390°F for 5 to 6 minutes for crispiness
- The wings should reach an internal temperature of at least 165°F to be safe to eat
In summary, cooking chicken wings in an air fryer usually takes about 16 to 25 minutes at temperatures between 380°F and 400°F, flipping halfway through for best results. Adjust the time slightly based on wing size and desired crispiness. Patting wings dry and using baking powder in the seasoning helps achieve a crispy skin
