Classic Hot Wings In the Air Fryer

By Lynda · Sep 30, 2019 · This post may contain affiliate links.

Making Classic Hot Wings has never been easier, thanks to the use of an air fryer.  There is less fat and less mess and a whole lot of good eats.

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 up a pan full of oil, worry about getting the right temperature, then frying 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, coincidently, makes cooking wings for the big game a winner.

There are basically two steps:  1.  Fry the wings.  2.  Toss the wings in sauce.  Simple enough, right?  Don’t take my word for it – try them yourself with the recipe below.

Classic Hot Wings In an Air Fryer

If you use your air fryer for only one food, make it chicken wings! The convection heat cooks that chicken skin on all sides, making each bite equally crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.
