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 up a pan full of oil, worry about getting the right temperature, then frying a bunch of chicken wings? Nobody. That’s who.
