Meet a game changer: Once you’ve had air-fryer wings, we guarantee you’ll never want them any other way. Our air-fryer wings boast an ultra-crispy skin with sauce options from classic buffalo to hot Caribbean to satisfy whatever you’re craving (or mix and match for the ultimate variety). Whether you’re looking for an easy appetizer for your next party, a game day food recipe to please a crowd, or a tasty weeknight meal you’re keeping all to yourself (we won’t judge), these air-fryer wings are a simple but satisfying recipe you’ll keep coming back to.
The key to this recipe is in the name: the famous air fryer. Say goodbye to soggy and oil-drenched wings! The air fryer gives that desired crispy skin without using any oil, making this dish a healthier and lower-calorie option compared to other oil-heavy recipes. Instead, circulating hot air cooks the wings while keeping a juicy and tender center. Tip: make sure to cook the wings in batches for maximum crispness! Frying in a single-layer ensures that each and every wing gets that mouthwatering texture.
No marinating or preheating is required, so this three-step meal is a cinch to whip up. Simply decide on a favorite sauce (or two), get out that air fryer, and you’ll be munching on a perfect party snack in no time.
