Can you cook whole chicken wings in the air fryer?

You can cook all parts of the chicken in the air fryer. If your air fryer is large enough, you can cook even a whole chicken. Now, the wings are wonderful because the skin gets crispy outside and juicy inside when they are fried in an air fryer.

On the other hand, seasoning is also extremely important in making the best-tasting chicken wings. To achieve this, we provide you with a recipe.

How do you cook whole chicken wings in the air fryer?

Firstly, check how many wings fit into the basket. If you are going to cook the whole chicken wings you will have to cook them in batches depending on the size of the basket.

Now you can get the savory taste of these chicken wings with these simple steps: wash them thoroughly, season them, place them into the air fryer, and serve.

To season, these flavorings are the secret that always works and that we love, such as garlic, black pepper, vinegar, and salt. Using all these ingredients along with vinegar serves to impregnate the chicken wings with their flavors. As soon as you apply those flavors, you can add a sauce and cook them.

As an optional step, you can dredge the chicken in flour to make it crisper before cooking. If you prefer a different texture, you can make breaded chicken wings.

Once they are cooked, the sauce will stick to the chicken wings resulting in a crust full of flavor and tender meat.

How long does it take to air fry whole chicken wings?

When you set the temperature to 400°F/204°C, it may take about 20 minutes, but keep in mind that not all air fryers are the same power. Also, since you will be cooking whole chicken wings, maybe make the dinner or dish in batches. Another factor to consider is the size of the wings; in some cases, you may choose to separate the tips since they are more bone than meat.

Storage and tips

The best way to preserve leftovers’ texture is to store them in an airtight container or a bag that is tightly sealed, to prevent moisture from getting inside. If you plan to consume them within three days, place them into the refrigerator around then. If you wish to keep them for a longer period of time, it is best to freeze them because they do not spoil at lower temperatures.

With the air fryer, you can reheat frozen chicken wings at 400ºF/204ºC for 10 minutes or use lower temperatures and fry them longer.
