Frozen Chicken Wings in the Air Fryer
Crispy, golden, and perfectly cooked, frozen chicken wings become a quick and easy appetizer or snack when you use an air fryer. With no thawing required, this method delivers juicy meat and a crunchy exterior every time.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds frozen chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Your favorite wing seasoning or sauce (optional)
Equipment
- Air fryer
- Tongs
- Cooking spray (if not using olive oil)
Instructions
Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 360°F (182°C) and let it preheat for 3-5 minutes.
Prepare the Wings: If your air fryer basket is non-stick, you can skip the oil. Otherwise, lightly spray the basket with cooking spray. For a crisper texture, toss the frozen wings with olive oil before placing them in the basket.
Arrange the Wings: Place the frozen chicken wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer. It’s okay if they touch slightly, but avoid overcrowding for the best results.
Cook the Wings: Air fry the wings at 360°F (182°C) for 25-30 minutes. Shake the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping. For extra crunch, you can add a few more minutes of cooking time.
Season and Serve: Once the wings are crispy and have reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), remove them from the air fryer. Season with salt, pepper, and your favorite sauce or seasoning.
Enjoy: Serve the wings hot with your favorite dipping sauces and enjoy your easy, delicious treat!
