We have a New Year and I am determined, through the course of the year to find the new me! Join me! Here’s to a New Year, New You!
To this end we bought Binky’s Culinary Carnival a Christmas present!
After much research, searching for the best, most cost efficient air fryer, with the best reviews, we settled on the Cuisinart TO-60A. I have many Cuisinart kitchen tools, and they are all beasts! They hold up for years and perform the task they specialize in, perfectly! I have also had great experiences with their customer support, which many of other brands available, fell flat on!
Since Christmas, we have been air frying just about everything, I will get to them all in due time! We have made these Air fryer chicken wing recipe 10 times!
Are Air Fryer Chicken Wings healthy?
We don’t even feel bad eating them often, because they are not those deep fried wings that we get from the pizza shop down the street! This Air Fryer Chicken Wing recipe will contain the same amount of calories as a pound of chicken, or 180 calories for 3 ounces, which is generally considered a serving of proteins!
As long as you don’t use the air fryer to reheat previously fried, frozen foods, you will be eating healthier than deep frying. Some interesting research on air fried foods, is here.
Do Air Fryer Chicken Wings Get Crispy?
Chicken wings cooked in the air fryer are so deliciously crispy on the outside, without the meat being dry and overdone, as may happen in the oven!
How to Make this Air Fryer Chicken Wing Recipe
- Cut tips off of wings. Separate drumettes from flats with meat clever.
- Place wings in large bowl and season with salt and pepper.
- Place on wire rack for air fryer. I leave room between so that the wings aren’t touching. Cook for 10 minutes on first side.
- Remove from air fryer and flip to second side with tongs . Continue cooking until crispy and internal temperature measures 165°F.
- Coat with your favorite sauce.
The other wonderful thing about the air fryer, is that your food takes a lot less time than if you were to do them in the oven. And again, by the time the skin is crispy, in the oven, many times the meat is overdone!
Sauces for Air Fryer Chicken Wings
Some of the sauces you can use to coat these chicken wings are:
- Peach Bourbon BBQ Sauce (pictured above)
- Peach BBQ Sauce
- Cherry BBQ Sauce
- Blueberry BBQ Sauce
- Buffalo Wing Sauce (coming soon to BCC)
- Sweet Chili Sauce
Suitable Dipping Sauces for Air Fryer Chicken Wings
Everyone knows that next to being crispy, you have to have a sauce for dipping those luscious chicken wings! Your dipping sauce will greatly depend on the sauce you decide to add to the chicken wings. Some dipping sauces, really require no additional sauce. Some of our favorite dipping sauces for chicken wings are:
- Classic Blue Cheese
- Ranch
- Spicy Jalapeno Aioli
- Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce
- Peanut Sauce (coming soon to BCC)

These wings look perfect for game day! Saving these for Super Bowl Sunday!
They are definitely perfect for your Super Bowl party, Jessica! Thank you for your comment!
Yep, these are definitely nice and crispy! Glad I have an air fryer for these. I love your choices of hot sauce. Got some spicy stuff there! Love it.
Haha! You would notice my Ass in Hell hot sauce, lol! I have a batch of your hot pepper sauces in the works, Mike! Thank you for your comment!
This is a fantastic and easy recipe! Air fryers are so good at taking the extra fat out of a recipe.
Thank you Katie! It really is so easy! And takes so little time! I appreciate your feedback!
I got an air fryer for Christmas, and I’m still quite new to it, but I love this recipe, and definitely will be trying it very soon! I think my other half is going to love these chicken wings!
Oh, I think he will too! They are so tender and crispy! I just got mine too! It is quite fun and I love how fast everything cooks! Thank you Anna!
Great item Beth, I was wondering how chicken wing would come out when cooked in the air fryer and they look so good, now I really want to buy one, Cuisinart are the best kitchen tools ever, might be my choice, need to check the options here.
I did a lot of research the Patty! The only note I may make, is that I think they make a larger one. If you have the space, I would definitely go with that. This one does not have the room to cook a whole chicken! Thank you, my friend!
I’m the only person who doesn’t own an air fryer. I better get my act in gear b/c these look too delish to pass up! Thanks for the easy recipe…YUM!
I felt the same before I got mine! They are relatively inexpensive, and I am quite pleased, so far!
It’s settled, trying these with peach bourbon BBQ.
Oh, the peach bourbon BBQ is the bomb Morgan! Good choice! That is pictured in this post! I hope you enjoy!! Thank you!
What delicious looking wings! Right in time for Superbowl. Guess I need to invest in an air fryer! Your sauces look awesome… can’t wait to try!
Thank you Susan! They are quite tasty! I have not been sorry for buying my air fryer! It’s great!
I need an air fryer! What a great way to use it and I love this idea for dinner or a Super Bowl party.
It’s super easy and fast to use! With the twins, you need both, Julie! Thanks!
My mom got an air fryer for Christmas and I’m sure she’ll love this recipe. Can’t wait to know what she thinks! I wish I also have one 🙂
Hi Claudia! Yes, so far, I really love it! Lots more recipes planned in the future! Thanks for your comment!
Seriously been meaning to get me an air fryer! Now after seeing this awesome chicken wings recipe I’m running to the store. Thanks, Binky!
Hi Lesli! You are most certainly welcome! I really love it! Thanks for stopping by!
I need an air fryer now, for real!! These wings look so delicious! Great instructions on separating the wing tips!!
Thanks Elaine! I save the wing tips for chicken stock. Did I mention that? Lol!
