Bourbon Honey Air Fryer Chicken Wings

Who doesn’t love chicken wings? Of course, cooking wings in the deep fryer is not only a hassle, but they’re fried, which isn’t exactly healthy. Thank the heavens for the air fryer.

Chicken wings are one of the best items to cook in the air fryer and these Bourbon Honey Air Fryer Chicken Wings are loaded with great flavor!

How long do you air fry chicken wings?

It depends. Some methods start the wings out slow and then crank the heat to get them nice and crispy, whereas others cook at the same temperature throughout the cooking time.

These cook at the same temperature for 30 to 35 minutes and that includes the baking time once you’ve sauced them and returned them to the air fryer.

How do you crisp up chicken wings in the air fryer?

First, you need to remember NOT to overcrowd the basket. Too many wings in the basket will prevent the wings from crisping up and you’ll have soggy wings.

You also want to make sure you’re cooking the wings at a high enough temperature. For this recipe, we’re cooking the wings at 380 degrees Fahrenheit.

How many chicken wings can you cook in an air fryer?

It depends on the size of your air fryer basket. You want each wing to have space around it so that the air can circulate and crisp up the skin. It’s better to do multiple batches than end up with soggy wings.
