Weeknight dinners just got way, way better with air fryer chicken wings. Seriously good stuff. These wings are not just crispy and golden every single time, but they have this lightness that totally sets them apart from your usual deep-fried wings. Just picture tossing chicken wings in a mix of aromatic herbs and spices, letting them soak up all that delicious flavor, then watching them become juicy and tender in the air fryer. The result? Crispy air fryer wings with an amazing aromatic finish that aren’t greasy at all. For real, many folks say these are the best air fryer chicken wings because they balance a moist inside with a crunchy outside. So, so tasty!

After a few bites, you really, really appreciate how these wings differ from the typical deep-fried version. You still get that crispiness and those tangy notes from the spice mix, but without that heavy oil feeling. And look, people love experimenting with different spice blends—some go for a smoky rub, others add a bit of sweet heat, and a few toss them in classic buffalo sauce for that extra kick. Pretty much everyone's favorite. The beauty of an easy air fryer chicken wings recipe is in its simplicity and versatility. You can easily swap out flavors or try something new without any fuss. Plus, the air fryer speeds things up—just set the right air fryer chicken wings time and temperature and you're good to go. It's no wonder these wings are a hit at parties and game days, becoming everyone’s go-to air fryer appetizers. With less fat and all that crispy goodness, it’s clear why this healthier option is a winner. And the best part? You can apply the same air fryer method to drumsticks, thighs, or even boneless bites—super versatile—making it a staple for anyone who loves quick, low-fat chicken wings with loads of flavor.

Method

To prepare the chicken wings with the air fryer, wash the chicken wings, place them on a paper towel 1 and pat them dry 2. Remove any feather remnants by burning them. Place the wings in a food-grade plastic bag 3.

Add the chili pepper 4, cumin 5, mustard 6, and garlic powder.

Salt them 7, close the bag and shake it vigorously to season the meat 8. Let the wings rest in the refrigerator for an hour in the bag so they absorb the flavors. Place the wings in the air fryer basket 9 and cook at 392°F for 34 minutes. We used a 7-liter air fryer.

Turn them several times during cooking 10. Once ready 11, serve the chicken wings hot, accompanied by BBQ sauce 12.

Storage

You can store the air fryer chicken wings for one day in the refrigerator in an airtight container and reheat them before serving. We do not recommend freezing.

Tip

To make the wings more aromatic, you can let them marinate in the refrigerator for a day with an even richer mix of spices and seasonings: 1 teaspoon of brown sugar, 2 pinches of black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of paprika, and 3 pinches of salt.
