Easy Air Fryer Wings Recipe
This air fryer wings recipe will change the way you make classic hot wings. Using an air fryer helps ensure that your chicken wings are nice and crispy on the outside while remaining juicy and full of flavor on the inside. Best of all, this method is much easier and less messy than deep frying.
If you have stayed away from cooking wings at home because it seems like too much trouble, then this recipe is definitely for you.
I get it. Who wants to fill a pan with oil, worry about getting the right temperature, and then fry a bunch of chicken wings? Nobody. That’s who.
This easy recipe for Classic Hot Wings from The “I Love My Air Fryer” Gluten-Free Recipe Book: From Lemon Blueberry Muffins to Mediterranean Short Ribs, 175 Easy and Delicious Gluten-Free Recipes (“I Love My” Series)by Michelle Fagone is a game-changer. Which, coincidentally, makes cooking wings for the big game a winner.
Let’s look at how to make them.
