AIR-FRIED CHICKEN WINGS

Use an air fryer to make these easy chicken wings, and add the seasoning or sauce of your choice. They're perfect for a buffet or just a movie night snack

Provided by Anna Glover

Categories     Buffet, Side dish, Snack

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1kg chicken wings
1 tbsp sunflower or olive oil
seasoning of your choice (use salt and pepper, or ½-1 tsp of either smoky BBQ, ras-el-hanout, garlic granules, celery salt or garam masala)
dipping sauce, to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • Separate each chicken wing in two at the joint, removing the wing tips if you like using sharp kitchen scissors. Toss the chicken wings in the oil and seasoning, then tip into an air fryer (you can either use one with a paddle, or arrange them on the tray of your air fryer if it doesn't have a paddle).
  • Program the air fryer to cook for 35 mins. Check the wings are tender and cooked through - they should be almost falling off the bone - and cook for a further 5 mins if needed. The skin should have bubbled and crisped up, and any excess fat from the chicken will have dripped off into base of the fryer (discard this). Don't leave the chicken in the fryer, or the steam will make the skin soft again. Immediately tip into a bowl and serve with sauce for dipping.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken wings: Look for wings that are plump and have a good amount of meat on them. Avoid wings that are too small or have a lot of feathers.
  • Pat the chicken wings dry: This will help the chicken wings get crispy in the air fryer.
  • Season the chicken wings: You can use your favorite seasoning blend or a simple combination of salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Preheat the air fryer: This will help the chicken wings cook evenly.
  • Cook the chicken wings in a single layer: This will help them get crispy all over.
  • Flip the chicken wings halfway through cooking: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Serve the chicken wings immediately: They are best when served hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Air frying chicken wings is a quick and easy way to make a delicious and healthy snack or meal. By following these tips, you can make sure that your chicken wings are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
