Make the best Air Fryer Crispy Chicken Wings, perfect for dinner or parties!
Let’s talk about Air Fryer Chicken Wings and all you need to know about them. This post is going to focus on crispy chicken wings that are seasoned with garlic parmesan.
Air Fryer Crispy Chicken Wings happen to be one of our favorites. These can be made with drummettes, flats, or wings, any part of the chicken will work with this method.
Tips for Making Air Fryer Crispy Chicken Wings:
The most important thing when making these is to be sure not to overcrowd your air fryer. In order for them to get crispy, the air needs to be able to circulate well.
It’s best to prepare these by placing them in a 9×13 dish or on a large baking sheet to be able to evenly coat them with the butter and seasoning.
They are topped with Parmigiano Cheese which really gives them an extra boost of flavor, I wouldn’t skip it!
These wings are not spicy, but if you want to add spice you can easily add in some Cayenne Pepper and spice them up.
How do you reheat crispy chicken wings?
These can of course be heated in the microwave but our preferred method is the air fryer.
These can be reheated at 350*F for about 3-4 minutes in your air fryer.
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the wings, getting them close to 175*F. This temperature will yield the juiciest wings!
Do you need oil for air fryer crispy chicken wings?
Oil is not needed for air fryer chicken wings; however, I like to keep grapeseed oil spray on hand just in case they look a little dry or floury.
If you see any dry or floury wings, give them a nice coat of grapeseed oil spray and they will crisp right up and be nice and juicy.
