Baked chicken wings can take up to 1 hour to cook, but with the air fryer you’ll have crispy delicious wings in less than 30 minutes! These wings come out perfectly golden and crunchy without the need for deep frying or tons of oil. You can keep them plain or toss them in your favorite sauce. My favorite way to serve them is tossed in a buffalo sauce served with ranch dressing. Whether you’re making them as a game day recipe or just want a quick and satisfying appetizer or full meal, these air fryer wings are guaranteed to be a hit!
chicken wings – I used party-style wings for this recipe, but you can also use whole wings and cut them into sections yourself. olive oil – you just need enough to coat the wings and help the seasoning stick. You can swap for avocado oil if you prefer. baking powder – this is the secret to getting your wings super crispy in the air fryer! Don’t skip this ingredient! seasonings – you’re going to need garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper. I like to add cayenne pepper for a bit of heat, but it’s totally optional.

There’s no wrong way to serve these chicken wings! Here are some sauce ideas to get you started:
Buffalo sauce: I love tossing these wings in buffalo sauce! I don’t have a homemade version just yet, but I love the Primal Kitchen Medium Heat Buffalo Sauce and Noble Made Medium Buffalo Sauce. Ranch: My vegan ranch dressing is a great option. If you’re looking for a store-bought version, I recommend Primal Kitchen ranch as it’s allergen-friendly and made with clean ingredients. Blue Cheese: Another staple dip pairing! I don’t have a homemade blue cheese dressing recipe so grab your favorite store-bought version. I like the Bolthouse Farms chunky blue cheese. BBQ sauce: My homemade BBQ sauce has the same bold, sweet and spicy flavor that you love from regular BBQ sauce, it’s just made healthier without any corn syrup, refined sugar or added preservatives. Honey Mustard: One of my favorite dips! This homemade honey mustard dressing is so good!! It’s creamy, perfectly sweet with a touch of tanginess and only takes 5 minutes to whip up!
If you want to freeze the cooked chicken wings you can, but I would only freeze the chicken if you’re starting with raw, not previously frozen chicken. I wouldn’t defrost frozen chicken and then freeze it again. To freeze, let them cool completely then place in an airtight container and store for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
